After a mostly-successful stint at Hills Valley Middle School, Rafe is excited to visit the incredible city of London with his class.

Then Rafe is forced to work on a class project side by side with his crush Jeanne Galletta and her too-perfect boyfriend, which might be even more torturous than rooming with Miller. And it's no surprise that Rafe's bad luck follows him across the pond, putting him in one crazy situation after another--all under the watchful eye of his bad-tempered principal. Out of all of his adventures, this trip could prove to be Rafe's most embarrassing yet, undoing everything good he has going for him back home!

with his aunt, uncle, and their evil son Stevie, a bully who

much as possible. But Jamie doesn't let his situation get him down.
When his Uncle Frankie mentions a contest called The Planet's
Funniest Kid Comic, Jamie knows he has to enter. But are the judges
only rewarding him out of pity because of his wheelchair, like
Stevie suggests? Will Jamie ever share the secret of his troubled
past instead of hiding behind his comedy act?

The Worst Years of My Life," James Patterson continues to dish out

story. (Includes more than 175 black-and-white illustrations.)
