Rafe's life turns upside down when he inherits a million dollars, but there's a catch. He must attend the elite St. Benedict’s School in Beverly Hills, where fitting in is a challenge. Living in a rundown house and facing bullies, Rafe wonders if this windfall is more trouble than it's worth. Can he navigate this new world, or will he be sent packing? Dive into a hilarious adventure where wealth brings unexpected woes.

From the publisher

In this laugh-out-loud funny installment of a #1 New York Times bestselling series, Rafe inherits a million dollars–and a million problems–as he finds himself struggling to fit in at one of the snobbiest schools in the country. When Rafe discovers that he’s inherited a fortune, it’s not all good news. Sure, he gets an all-expenses-paid trip to glamorous Beverly Hills…. but he also has to go to school while he’s in California. Blergh. And not just any school-St. Benedict’s, the snobbiest of snobby establishments. You can bet your bottom dollar that Rafe doesn’t exactly fit in. Toss in a ramshackle house Rafe’s family has to live in before they can inherit the money and a group of bullies who make Miller the Killer look downright friendly, and this trip might be more trash than treasure. Rafe finds himself in the middle of a very big mess. Can he tidy his life up, or will he be sent packing?
