After a rough summer, Rafe is heading back to the dreaded Hills
Village Middle School, the site of the very worst years of his
life. And as if that's not bad enough, he's learned that he's going
to be held back a year unless he can prove himself on an outdoor
survival excursion--complete with dangerous white-water rafting,
dizzying rock climbing, and fanatical counselors. Rafe and the rest

woods. Can Rafe come out of the experience in one piece? And if he
does, he go home as the same insecure kid?

Then Rafe is forced to work on a class project side by side with his crush Jeanne Galletta and her too-perfect boyfriend, which might be even more torturous than rooming with Miller. And it's no surprise that Rafe's bad luck follows him across the pond, putting him in one crazy situation after another--all under the watchful eye of his bad-tempered principal. Out of all of his adventures, this trip could prove to be Rafe's most embarrassing yet, undoing everything good he has going for him back home!
