Plot

Rafe is sitting on a large tub of pickles in the storage room of Swifty's Diner, where his Mum, Jules, is employed. He is working on his school things.

Then the burger grill, that Swifty (Jack) uses to cook orders, and which has not been cleaned in a while, goes up in flames. His Mum evacuates him, but they end up watching the place burn down.

Without Swifty's Diner, Jules cannot earn money. Without money, she can't pay the rent, and without rent, they have no house. So they go to Rafe's grandmother's house, in a run-down rural area, which he thinks is gross.

He trades his previous Operation: R.A.F.E (Rules Aren't For Everyone) for Operation: Get A Life

As he starts seventh grade, he encounters many problems, not only with Operation: Get A Life but with bullies as well.
