James Patterson's co-written Middle School series is nothing less than a globally bestselling publishing sensation.

What you may not know is that James Patterson also co-writes hilarious, hugely popular children’s books...many of them with Martin.

James Patterson Middle School series with Martin Chatterton
‘Hi I’m Rafe Khatchadorian, and if you already know me, then you know I do things a little differently than most people. I like to break the rules. No, I love to break rules. Especially dumb ones, like no talking in the hallways at my school and only being allowed to use the bathroom two times a day, no matter what.'
With his ‘pukey sister’ Georgia, school bully ‘Miller the Killer’, and the diabolical teacher he names the ‘Dragon Lady’ constantly on his case, it’s no wonder Rafe spends plenty of time in his favourite subject . . . after school detention.
Middle School follows eleven-year-old Rafe as he navigates his way through Grade 6, while also juggling a problematic home life. Told from the riotously honest perspective of Rafe, readers really get into the headspace of a young boy who is just trying to fit in and be accepted by others.
It’s the characters in Middle School that really give this series its heart. As well as Rafe, you’ll meet other likeable and relatable characters such as his sister Georgia Khatchadorian, who is just trying to live up to her big brother’s reputation, Grandma Dotty, Vice-Principal Stricker, Aussie Zombies and many, many more...
But don’t just take our word for it, have a read and find out for yourself!
