No more being at the bottom of middle school food chain - Rafe is finally going to be popular!
He just has two teeny 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?
