Middle school the worst years of my life is the funniest book I've ever read. It all about this kid Rafe and he is bored with his life and school and he tries to make it more interesting by making a plan/plot called R.A.F.E (rules aren't for everyone.) Everyone is given a book with all the rules of the school and he's made this plot to break all of them. Rafe has a imaginary friend called Leo and later on you find out he is Rafe's dead brother.He has a mum and a sister, his mum works at a place called swifftys which is a restaurant and his sister doesn't appear much. Also there is this guy who is know as bear he is Rafe's mum's boy friend. Bear eats all the food and is this person who eats money like food and  has not got a job,he lies on the sofa,eat's,drinks and very bad tempered to children and everyone. I think James Patterson is a great writer for his amazing books.
