4 Hook Question: Will Rafe Khatchadorian survive the horrible environment of middle school or will he fail to live?

5 Blurb: THIS iS THE TOTALLY iNSANe STORY OF HOW I, RAFE KHATCHADORIAN, 

• fought and overcame a diabolical teacher called the Dragon Lady, 
• sold my soul to the school bully, a dollar at a time,
• wrestled with a real live bear, repeatedly,
• went into the soda business and went bust,
• and fell kind of in "like" with the most popular girl in school.

The worst days of my life were good sometimes.

Bad sometimes.

But mostly they were hilarious.
