Middle School #1: The Worst Years of My Life Award-winning author by James Patterson (author)

Beyond massive. Cheeky Rafe is on top of the world. (Even if he’s still bottom of the class.) A runaway success? His teachers don’t think so. But we definitely do. Not many sixth-graders pose a challenge to the King of Wimps. But Rafe is exceptional. His chart-topping books break all the rules of what a middle school boy can do. And we mean that. Rafe’s just been sent to Prison; that is, Hills Village School. But he’s not going quietly. He’s tearing up the evil Code of Conduct by breaking every rule. Running in the hallway: 10,000 points. Pulling the fire alarm: 50,000 points. How long can he keep it up? The good news for you is that this is first in a big series. So the fun won’t end any time soon.

James Patterson

James Patterson is one of the world’s bestselling authors, having written over 100 books in his career. He started out writing adult thrillers (and still does) but began writing children’s books when son, Jack, said he couldn’t find any great page-turning books for kids his age.

He’s been called the busiest man in publishing, and that’s not just because of his own books. For the past decade, James has been devoting more and more of his time to championing books and reading. From the James Patterson Pageturner Awards, to ReadKiddoRead.com (a website which recommends great books for kids of all ages) and his scholarships, book donation programmes and founding partnership of Booktrust’s Children’s Reading Fund, James has focused on passing on his passion for reading to kids everywhere.

As he says himself, ‘If I can help to make books and reading more important in children’s lives, I’ll be a happy man’.
