Homeroom Diaries is a realistic fiction novel by James Patterson aimed at teenagers. Published in the United States by Little, Brown and Company on July 22, 2014, the book follows high-schooler Margaret Clarke, who goes by the nickname Cuckoo. When the book begins, Cuckoo is living with a foster mother after her own mother abandoned her, an incident that caused Cuckoo to have a brief stay at a mental institution.[3]

In an interview with Publishers Weekly, Patterson said of the book, “I think that this book is my closest yet to the kind of book I always thought I’d write when I began writing ... It has some fantasy, humor, and is very human. Some heavy things happen to the kids in the book, things that happen in real life."[4]

Homeroom Diaries has received positive reviews from critics. Publishers Weekly said, "Patterson brings the misfit theme of Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life and its sequels into edgier territory"[3] and book blogger Miss Literati said, "Patterson has managed to write a novel that tells a honest, fun, highly entertaining read."[5]
