How it all began…
Book 1:
Over my head
Genesis - Deuteronomy
Patrick Wigglesworth’s Bizarre Bible Adventures is a series of hilarious comic journals for preteens. Readers will follow 10-year-old Patrick as he draws silly comics about his weird life. Just how weird is Patrick’s life? It’s so weird that Patrick gets yanked out of his room and into the Bible! In section of his adventure through the Bible, Patrick meets a different Bible character who acts as a tour guide through that portion of the Bible. It’s so fun it encourages kids to be readers through their own Bibles.
Book 2:
Tricky Times
Joshua - Job
Tricky Times picks up where the first Patrick Wigglesworth’s Bizarre Bible Adventure book, Over My Head, left off. Patrick is now in fifth grade and at a brand new school. He and his best friends are confronted by a new crop of cool kids. These kids have moved up from Silicon Valley, CA, and are threatening to do away with the Gasket way of life. Patrick, wading into politics for the first time, decides to run for student council president in order to thwart the school takeover. Things don’t turn out at all the way he planned in his fifth-grade political career.

Book 3:
Dangerous Dilemmas
Psalms - Malachi
Dangerous Dilemmas, the third book in the series, creates familiarity with Bible stories in an easy-to-read format, complete with daily journal entries and drawings. Kids join Patrick as he takes on new challenges as Student Council President. He is reminded of his BBA (Bizarre Bible Adventure) when he meets his tour guides (King David, King Solomon, and Daniel) and is led through biblical events from Psalms to Malachi, observing unexpected leaders having to make hard decisions with tough consequences. Will Patrick handle being in charge or be man-handled by his constituents?
