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 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?

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?
