Angelo Rules follows twelve-year-old Angelo as he aims to control his life by using elaborate and comic strategies, based on his observations about human behaviour and with a little help from his friends Sherwood and Lola, to sweet-talk and work his way around his various adversaries. It has been developed from the French series of books Comment Faire Enrager, written by Sylvie de Mathuisieulx and illustrated by Sébastien Diologent.
