How I survived Middle School: Can you get an F in lunch?

This book was great. It was funny, interesting, and exciting all at the same time. Jenny's character displayed real life situations that can happen to anyone. The author's unique display of vocabulary was spectacular. The dialogue she gave the characters was very wide considering they came out of fifth grade. She described the characters very well. It was easy to relate to both Jenny and Addie. Though I don't feel as strong as I sound about this book, it was fantastic. I have never actually read any other books by this author. But after this one I'm sure it won't be the last. I was caught deep within this book. I'm sure others will too. After reading this I only have one more thing to say. I can't wait to read more of these series by Nancy Krulik.

Great Book

I loved this book! Throughout the book there are quizzes. In the book Jenny is starting her first day of middle school.She`s been gone at sleep away camp over the summer. During the summer Jenny`s best friend Addie Wilson gets a chance to be one of the Pops, the most popular girls in middle school and takes it. At first she was just giggling and agreeing with everything mean that her new friends Dana and Clarie say about Jenny then she`s saying mean stuff about her! Jenny finds the first week of middle school hard until she meets Chloe who introduces her to her friends Marc, Liza, Josh, Marilyn and Carolyn.My favorite part in this book is when Jenny met Chloe and her friends. This book got me wondering what would happen in the next in the series called Madame President. I hope my review was helpful and I hope you enjoy the book!

A horror experienced by just about everyone - the first days of middle school. Changing classes, finding your way around, trying to keep old friends and making new ones - it's one potential disaster after another. Jenny McAfee is excited and scared all at the same time. After eight weeks away at summer sleepover camp, she feels pretty confident that she's got what it takes to conquer middle school. She doesn't realize that her BFF (best friend forever) has suddenly become part of the popular crowd. It's amazing the changes that can happen when you're gone a few weeks over the summer. The first frightening day finds Jenny dressed all wrong, rushing to class, and getting lost on the way to the cafeteria. The eighth graders play the famous `take the elevator by the pool trick,' and Jenny totally falls for it. When she does finally find the cafeteria, there's no room at her friends' table and she eats all alone in the telephone booth. It's almost more than she can take. How can she even think about coming back for day number two? Nancy Krulik begins a new series with CAN YOU GET AN F IN LUNCH? by creating Jenny, a character most readers will find more familiar than they probably want to admit. This quick read is filled with typical frustrations of being a middle schooler. Added bonuses are little pop quizzes Jenny says she finds on a middle school survival website. Readers can try the quizzes right along with Jenny and her friends. Middle grade readers, especially girls, are sure to enjoy this series. Reviewed by: Sally Kruger, aka "Readingjunky"
