The I Hate Fridays collection is a collection of books written by Rachel Flynn and illustrated by Craig Smith. Five novels were written, all involving the trials and tribulations of a set of children attending primary school, and ending in high school in the fourth novel.
The first novel begins in 4th grade and progresses by a grade each book until the 9th grade in the final book. These novels are unique because they are structured as if written by the actual children in the story themselves. The story is split into different sub-stories, all of which are written in first-person narrative from the particular character's viewpoint. In the beginning, the sub-stories were merely one or two pages long and included large black-and-white illustrations, but as time progressed, the stories became more complex in the way they were written. For the last two books, which were set in high school, the stories were around three to five pages long and contained far more text than the first three. This is used to signify the maturity of the characters after time.
