Thank you for the chance to win.
Great giveaway.
Such a hard time for these kids. Wish I could whisk them through it
my oldest hated middle school and i now have kindergartner working her way up.
i do love the term “frenemies”
it seemed like we could have used this word often back in the day. could definitely use these books for my baby girl when she gets there
Best of times and the worse of times should be the label for middle shool ages.
I could use these right now! My step-daughter is going through a rough patch now during her first year of middle school. I try to keep reminding her of who she is and how she views herself rather than what the other kids may thin k today. Tomorrow will probably be different, but to remember how it felt. I don’t want her turning into one of those mean people herself.
It seems that Middle School is when school is just not fun anymore. They need to make it more interesting….not just -turn to page 58……..
Middle school was the best
I think that middle school is the hardest time for most kids. I know that it was for me.
Middle school was terrible for me. I was an outcast. No boobs, then too much boobs, etc. DD seems to be doing better than I did, but she still hates it, I think.
yepper count me in that is awesome!
My daughter just started middle school and she loves it. The frienemy thing is always prevalent though… girls that age are very fickle. It would be great to be able to share these books with her.
All schools are our children’s future, if they would just realize it now.
Middle school was fun.
My daughter started middle school this year. She’d really love this series. I was pretty shy, but I liked being in middle school. I think that I enjoyed it more than high school.
middle school was very boring for me
These books would be a Godsend. My daughter is in middle school and it is a constant battle. Middle School is very difficult for both my daughter and for me
My daughter will be in middle school soon, so I really need these.
…every kid needs a guide to navigating middle school; I wish I had had one.
My daughter had a hard time adjusting to middle school. My son is having a hard time adjusting to middle school too.

I was a terror in middle school. I loved it!
