Reach for this book when your child is navigating the complex social hierarchies of middle school or feeling the pressure to change who they are just to fit in. Rafe Khatchadorian is a relatable underdog who finally thinks he has found the secret to popularity: joining a rock band and working at the coolest shop in town. However, he quickly learns that being cool is a lot more work than it looks, especially when your bandleader is the school bully and the music sounds terrible. This story humorously explores the tension between wanting to be liked and staying true to yourself. It is an excellent choice for reluctant readers who enjoy fast-paced stories with illustrations and for parents looking to open a dialogue about peer pressure, self-worth, and the reality of social status.
