Customer Reviews

Great for nervous mom and middle school son

My son is in 7th grade. I bought this book at the end of my son's fifth grade year, prior to middle school, because I had no idea what to expect! I also wanted to be sure to hit all the bases when talking with my son. I read it first and then I gave it to him. It's written for the student, but it helped me to be prepared, too. I had forgotten a lot of that middle school angst. My son read it and found it really valuable. Down to earth and informative, it reminds kids that everyone's different, most of what you're feeling is normal, and you're going to make it!

Too Old for This, Too Young for That

I recommend this book for any child about to attend or attending middle school. Great source of reassurance for these difficult ages.

Great Advice Book

I received this book as a gift, and I read every single word. It contained really good advice that helped me to get through 6th grade. Now I'm better prepared for the rest of my time in middle school. The quotes made this book so interesting, and they were fun too. I keep the book on my desk so I can go back to the sections I need whenever I want.

Fun for kids and great for group work!

I thought this was a great book! It was written in language geared toward Middle School youth and for boys as well as girls. It's a book that makes talking about difficult and sometimes awkward topics fun for kids. It's a great group work tool also.

Great book for middle school kids and their parents

This book has everything - fun quizzes (I loved the mad lib in the chapter on body changes), great study tips, and even stuff about bullies.
