Middle School Born to Rock

In the 11th book of James Patterson's bestselling Middle School series, it's a dog-eat-dog world and Rafe Khatchadorian is just trying to live in it. Life in middle school is finally starting to seem bearable—until Rafe spots his grandmother standing on the free-meal line at the local soup kitchen. In the next book, Rafe's hilarious little sister, Georgia, is back for another adventure, vying to be crowned winner of the Battle of the Bands. She faces multiple challenges, including having a crush on classmate Sam Marks, a Rube Goldberg machine challenge, and confrontations with Missy Trillin and her Princess Patrol. Georgia throws her energy into her all-girl rock band, We Stink, and strives to win a major music competition to jam with her favorite rock band, Lulu and the Handbags. She even seeks help from her brother Rafe, hoping his crazy ideas will help her win.
