OVERVIEW
Remember middle school? A lot of adults have chosen to block it out – I know I have buried some of those memories pretty deep, but this book would have been a great help to me all those years ago. The Cathermans’ appealing approach includes advice about all manner of topics, alphabetically arranged, written in an easy-to-read style and a light-hearted but forthright tone. Each topic is addressed on the left page, with a joke or interesting, related story at the end, and illustrated with a “Do This – Not That” drawing on the right. Subjects include various aspects of hygiene (parents and teachers, rejoice!), fights, bullies, lockers, tests, the principal, reading, gossip, bathrooms, a variety of topics related to modern technology, and many more.
ASSESSMENT
Rating (1 to 5)
4 stars
Suggested Audience
Middle School Girls, including those about to enter 6th grade.
Christian Impact
There is no specific Christian language, which in this case, I think is a good thing. However, the concepts the authors are teaching are all in line with what it looks like to live according to Biblical principles.
