Author Of Middle School Series James Patterson To Release New Illustrated Book 'Treasure Hunters'

James Patterson crops up another set of illustrated adventure in the spirit of his well-received Middle School series. Treasure Hunters, which is illustrated by award-winning illustrator Juliana Neufeld and co-written with Chris Grabenstein, who also collaborated with Patterson in Daniel X and I Funny, comes out this year and just in time for my birthday.

The first book, whose cover debuted at USA Today, will surely be another page-turner as is expected from any James Patterson book. The book, which is targeted for children ages 7 to 13 is written to encourage more children to read books -- as you might have known James Patterson is an advocate and creator of Read, Kiddo, Read.

Check out the first book of a new series by James Patterson, the Treasure Hunters.
