Middle School: Million Dollar Mess

Middle School: Million Dollar Mess

Summary

Rafe inherits a million dollars . . . and a million problems. Has he struck it rich, or will he strike out?

When Rafe discovers that he's inherited a fortune, it's not all good news. Sure, he gets an all-expenses-paid trip to glamorous Beverly Hills . . . but he also has to go to school while he's in California. Blergh. And not just any school - St. Benedict's, the snobbiest of snobby establishments. You can bet your bottom dollar that Rafe doesn't exactly fit in. Toss in a ramshackle house Rafe's family has to live in before they can inherit the money and a group of bullies who make Miller the Killer look downright friendly, and this trip might be more trash than treasure.

Rafe finds himself in the middle of a very big mess. Can he tidy his life up, or will he be sent packing?
