Middle School the Worst Years of My Life

Patterson, James. Middle School the Worst Years of My Life. NY: Hachette, 2011, 283 pages. (Realistic Fiction / Humor)

The book Middle School the Worst years of my life is an excellent book that is great for the readers from 11-13. It was a great read that I could not put down. The book has to do with breaking rules, family troubles, and an “imaginary” friend that gives him ideas along the way.
