Middle School, The Worst Years of My Life<\/a>
\nby James Patterson (Author), Chris Tebbetts (Contributor) and Laura Park (Illustrator)
\n288 pages<\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> Rafe Khatchadorian has enough problems at home without throwing his first year of middle school into the mix.

Snippet:<\/strong> It feels as honest as the day is crummy<\/strong> that I begin this tale of total desperation and woe with me, my pukey sister, Georgia, and Leonardo the Silent sitting like rotting sardines in the back of a Hills Village Police Department cruiser.<\/p>\n
