(USA)/ Special Needs students/ Series
Number seven in a series of funny, poignant and
easy-to-read stories
about Rafe Khatchadorian, his friends and family as they struggle with the day to day
problems of intermediate (middle school) life. It is a series that is
immediately interesting to not-so-keen-readers with its slightly OTT jackets,
comic type illustrations at practically every opening and its engaging writing
style in which the writer brings the reader right alongside the action.
However, good readers enjoy this series as well. In this, the latest, Rafe finds he is being classed as
a Special Needs student because of his ‘behaviour problems’ and is enrolled in
a Learning Skills programme – you may even get to like it he is told….
Year 5 up/ Age 9 up
