Customer Reviews

My Daughter Loves This Book

I got this for my youngest daughter the summer before she started middle school. She was very anxious about the change to a new school. My daughter read this book in a day, laughed out loud several times, and really loved it. She even pointed out passages and sections to me, so it was something that we could share. I truly believe it helped allay some of her fears and concerns. The book was apparently written by a group of girls who were in or recently completed middle school, which I think made it more "real" for my daughter. I highly recommend it for girls getting ready to attend or already in middle school. (Maybe not so much for boys.)

A Biased Review From a Proud Librarian

It is important to note that I have never reviewed books online for anyone, but I have made an exception for the work of these five former students of mine. Their hard work on this book, begun when they were in the seventh grade, has really paid off in this handsome and direct guide for anyone trying to negotiate the halls of their new middle school. Funny, insightful, and full of real-life information teens can put to immediate use, this is an essential book to have for the transition into the teenage years.

Fantastic Book!

A great book for anyone heading to middle school! It's not only full of terrific advice; it's also an inspiring story in itself (amazingly enough, the five authors wrote it while they were in middle school!). I sure wish I'd had a copy of this book back when I was eleven or twelve years old. Ann Packer
