for the best year ever, if only he can pull it off: With his best friend
Leonardo the Silent awarding him points, Rafe tries to break every rule
in his school's oppressive Code of Conduct. Chewing gum in class--5,000
points! Running in the hallway--10,000 points! Pulling the fire
alarm--50,000 points! But when Rafe's game starts to catch up with him,
he'll have to decide if winning is all that matters, or if he's finally
ready to face the rules, bullies, and truths he's been avoiding.

schoolers' biggest issues: bullies, first crushes, and finding out what
