Everyone with a middle schooler/preteen/tween and everyone who will have one should have this book!! I am so excited about this book. We are always on a quest to equip ourselves to help our son through life and honesty, I know the middle school years can be a challenge. I remember it and I taught middle schoolers for a while. I appreciate the uniqueness of this book in that there is input from middle schoolers. I love that it covers communicating, independence and discipline, conflict, faith, school, romance and all the new challenges kids face like technology, Internet and gaming. I long for building and keeping a loving relationship with my son and I really resonate with this book!! I highly recommend it!!

This book is about middle school aged children and the changes they experience on their way to adulthood. It was written by two teachers who are familiar with this age group. There are many anonymous quotes from middle schoolers and tips from the authors about dealing with children of this age. I thought this book was well written and had many ideas about how to relate to a child.
