Too Uncool for School — James Patterson; Martin Chatterton

In this hilarious installment of a #1 New York Times bestselling series, Rafe is finally getting a taste of the cool life -- but his problems are red-hot!
 
Rafe Khatchadorian has never been cool. But all that changes when he becomes the guitarist in an awesome rock band and wrangles a part-time job at Hills Village's trendiest new coffee shop slash yoga studio. No more being at the bottom of the middle school food chain -- Rafe is finally going to be popular!
 
He just has two teeny problems: the awesome rock band is led by none other than the school bully. And the band actually isn't awesome -- they absolutely stink, and Rafe has to whip them into shape for the Best Band Competition.
 
With Rafe's newfound coolness on the line, will he find a way to hit the stage in style, or is he doomed to dorkdom forever?
