Description
A memoir of British middle school bullying and one precocious comic nerd's fight to make it through while remaining as invisible as possible.

Paul B. Rainey takes a look back at his middle school education and the indignities suffered--a mix of stalled friendships, pitched battles with martinets, and exasperated pleading with intractable parents. Playground games take on outsized importance as Paul and his friends seek respite from a particularly abusive science teacher. Paul jockeys to hold his place in the complicated hierarchy of school bullying.

Rainey takes a classic "school daze" tale--both wistful and hilarious--and manages to turn it on its head with a couple of his now famous twists. Find out the truth behind The Murder School and the effect it's had on Rainey well into middle-age.
