Episode 16 – Middle School, The Worst Years of My Life

Kait, Renata, and their guest Abby (The Librarian) read Middle School, The Worst Years of My Life by James Patterson and Chris Tebbetts. It’s an unexpectedly dark psychological thriller (of sorts) that made us reflect on our own middle school years and also wonder if James Patterson has ever actually set foot inside a school. Listen now to hear why James Patterson once again failed to win the Newbery Medal! Readers advisory: Here. Footnotes: The Henry Ford of Books Read, Kiddo, Read 2015 Newbery Medal Candy pairing: Abby says Almond Joys, Kait says Airheads X-Treme, Renata says Starburst jellybeans. Coming up next: Flowers in the Attic by V. C.
