West Creek Middle School Series

Claudia Mills brings the joyful if frustrating world of middle school to life in this delightfully told series for young-adults. It all starts with Losers, Inc., which is about a club for—you guessed it—losers! At West Creek Middle School readers will meet an unforgettable cast of down-to-earth characters from the President of Losers, Inc. himself, Ethan Winfield, to his best friend and VP Julius Zimmerman; there’s makeup enthusiast Marcia Faitak, the brainy class nerd Lizzie Archer, and Alex Ryan, the class clown jester. Pimples and pranks, friendships and failures, science projects and summer jobs all abound, with plenty of crushes along the way, in this engrossing series from the beloved children’s book author who has brought “all the elements of middle school in place” (School Library Journal).
