James Patterson’s newest middle-grade story follows the illuminating journey of a very special boy called Rafe Katchadorian.
Just as school is at its suckiest, things take a turn for the better for Rafe, when a cool, mysterious new girl shows up.
Not only does she show up, but she has the most amazing blue eyes, which remind Rafe of an Icelandic glacier.
He is not the most popular student in middle school, but that soon changes as Kristen Doe becomes his friend.
Somehow, unbelievably, Rafe Katchadorian, everyone’s famous underdog, is in the movie business.
But things aren’t that simple, as Kristen is actually a Hollywood movie star by the name of Indie Star.
Things get very weird very fast, and when Hollywood suddenly rolls into Hills Village, it changes Rafe’s life completely, sometimes for the worse.
