In recent years, Patterson has launched several book series for middle grade readers including I, Funny, Middle School, and Treasure Hunters. “New York Schools Chancellor Carmen Farina said sixth-grade students in more than 300 schools throughput the city’s five boroughs will be offered the books to encourage them to read during their summer vacation.”
