Endlich im Taschenbuch! Die 5. Klasse war die schlimmste für Rafe. In der neuen Schule erhofft er sich eine mathematik- und geschichtsunterrichtsfreie Spaßzone. Doch falsch gedacht! Der Wettbewerb ist hier noch härter. Um mithalten zu können, muss Rafe sein ödes Leben schnellstens in künstlerische Inspiration verwandeln. Wie er das schafft? Er tut alles, was er noch nie getan hat: lernen, Poker spielen und ein Museum für moderne Kunst besuchen. Kann er sein Leben so auf den Kopf stellen?
Für Rafe besteht die Schule aus nichts als Langeweile und lästigen Pflichten. Aber er hat schon einen genialen Plan, wie er die 5. Klasse überstehen wird. Er nimmt sich vor, jede einzelne Schulregel zu brechen und Verstöße mit Punkten zu honorieren: Kaugummi kauen im Unterricht: 5.000 Punkte. Wettrennen im Flur: 10.000 Punkte. Feueralarm auslösen: 50.000 Punkte. Doch als das Spiel ernst wird, muss Rafe sich entscheiden, ob nur der Sieg zählt oder ob er bereit ist, sich unbequemen Wahrheiten zu stellen. Der Auftakt der urkomischen Comic-Roman-Reihe: ein Riesen-Lesevergnügen für Jungen und Mädchen.
Rafe freut sich auf das Sommercamp, doch der strenge Tagesablauf lässt keine Ruhe aufkommen. Gemeinsam mit seiner Camptruppe, den Bisamratten, kämpft er gegen die Regeln und verwandelt das Ferienlager in ein unvergessliches Abenteuer.
Sightseeing around a foreign country sounds like a blast, until Rafe finds out his roommate will be none other than Miller the Killer, bully extraordinaire! And it's no surprise that Rafe's bad luck follows him across the pond, putting him in one crazy situation after another - all under the watchful eye of his bad-tempered principal.

Perfect for fans of Becky Albertali's Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda and A. S. King's Still Life with Tornado, this story of parallel time lines cleverly explores how our choices can change and shape us--as well as the ways in which choices don't change the core of our being at all. When Chris Schweitzer takes a hit of whippets and passes out face first on the cement, his nose isn't the only thing that changes forever. Instead of staying home with his friends for the last summer after high school, he's shipped off to live with his famous physicist but royal jerk of a father to prove he can "play by the rules" before Dad will pay for college.Or . . . not.In an alternate time line, Chris's parents remain blissfully ignorant about the accident, and life at home goes back to normal--until it doesn't. A new spark between his two best (straight) friends quickly turns Chris into a (gay) third wheel, and even worse, the truth about the whippets incident starts to unravel. As his summer explodes into a million messy pieces, Chris wonders how else things might have gone. Is it possible to be jealous of another version of yourself in an alternate reality that doesn't even exist?With musings on fate, religion, parallel universes, and the best way to eat a cinnamon roll, Me Myself & Him examines how what we consider to be true is really just one part of the much (much) bigger picture.
Included in this paper-over-board boxed set is the #1 New York Times and #1 Indiebound bestseller that introduced the world to Rafe, along with his sparkplug sister Georgia's point-of-view on her brother's infamy. Rafe and Georgia's complete set of escapades will provide countless hours of laughs for fans as well as newcomers to the series
This unusual and beautifully illustrated book gives us a unique window on 600 years of Dales history. Looking through the eyes of contemporary writers, we can see how perceptions, attitudes and even the landscape itself have changed over time.
