In this hilarious guide full of honest, real-life experiences, veteran
teacher Luke Reynolds skillfully and humorously shows kids how to not
only survive, but thrive and even enjoy the wild adventure that is
middle school.
Middle grade series like The Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Dork Diaries bring
an authentic voice and vision to fiction about middle schoolers. Now,
for the first time a nonfiction guide to middle school offers that same
funny and relatable voice, while skillfully teaching life lessons to not
just help kids find their footing during the tough years between
elementary and high school, but to find the joy in their new adventures
and challenges.
Author and teacher Luke Reynolds uses irreverent humor, genuine
affection for middle schoolers, and authenticity that bubbles over as he
ties real-life experiences from his own time in middle school to the
experiences he has from his many years as a teacher.
Covering topics like bullying, peer pressure, grades, dealing with
difficult parents, and love and romance, this rare book reaches kids at
a deeper level during an age when they are often considered too young to
appreciate it. Readers will learn to find their own voice, begin to
explore their genuine identity, and definitely laugh out loud along the
way.
