Status Updates From The Worst Years of My Life ...

Summary: Rafe goes into sixth grade thinking it will be the worst years of his life. Rafe makes a friend named Leo, and Leo doesn't talk but he uses drawings as a way to talk. Leo and Rafe come up with a game that has you break school rules for more points. The more trouble you get in the more points you get, and who ever has the most points at the end of the year gets a prize.

Genre: I can tell that the genre of the book is humor. I can tell it is humor because Rafe keeps on making jokes and tries to be funny. Another genre it could be is action. I can tell this because Rafe keeps on trying to do things that get in trouble but without getting caught by the teachers at his school.
