Rodney James

Rodney James is a student of Westmore Middle School. In the first book, he appeared for the first time in September, when the "Wizard of Oz" play began. He played as a bush, in which he figured out how to sneak a game into the bush and play without getting caught, but got stage fright and the play was delayed. His mom had to remove him and take him home. In the film, he was seen playing Mario Kart DS on a Nintendo DS.

According to Jeff Kinney, Rodney James has got held back during Rodrick Rules.
