NEW YORK (AP) 鈥� James Patterson never seems to run out of ideas.
The ultraprolific author is launching a new middle grade series, 鈥淭he Time Travel Twins,鈥� about a boy and girl who witness key moments in U.S. history, starting with the era of the Revolutionary War.
Released by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, and co-written with Tad Safran, the series begins Sept. 9.
鈥淚鈥檝e always said that the hardest job with kids is to get them in the habit of reading. Like all of my children鈥檚 books, the goal of 鈥楾he Time Travel Twins鈥� is for a kid to finish it and say, 鈥楶lease, give me another book,'" Patterson said in a statement Monday.
Patterson's hundreds of books include children's stories, his 鈥淢aximum Ride鈥� and 鈥淎lex Cross鈥� thrillers, political thrillers co-written with former President Bill Clinton and a novel written with Dolly Parton about the Nashville music scene.
