The new MaximumRead.com allows James Patterson to deliver on his commitment to educators by providing exclusive educational resources, offering classroom discounts on book purchases, and developing unique promotions to reward educators and students for their creativity and commitment to reading.  The site also invites teachers, librarians and other scholastic professionals to participate in an online community designed to share ideas on how to make reading exciting for all kids.
