Reviews

"... delightful... Colorful anecdotes and intelligent, hip language keep readers' eyes on the prize—maintaining a healthy body image and body while navigating middle school."

- School Library Journal

"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."

"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."
