I would read this book for students who are in middle school so they can relate to the different challenges the story beholds.

This story blends humor and vibrant illustrations to explore the challenges of adolescence. Through Rafe Khachaturian's journey, the book emphasizes the importance of individuality, creativity, and resilience in navigating middle school. Its engaging art style enhances the story, making it a relatable and inspiring read for young audiences.
