A Smart Girl's Guide to Starting Middle School: Everything You Need to Know about Juggling More Homework, More Teachers, and More Friends!

I'm in sixth grade right now, and in the summer of 2005, I was really scared about starting a whole new part of school. I was afraid I'd get lost, I would get bad grades, or none of the teachers were nice. But I was totally wrong for thinking about all of that. This book reassured me for the years to come, and made me feel that I wasn't alone. There were thousands of girls across the country starting middle school too. I felt prepared as I walked into the halls of middle school for the first time, and I felt confident that I would survive. And I did, for it's almost the end of the school year, and I'm having a great time!

I really enjoyed this book... I got it last year before I went to sixth grade. It gives really good advice on what to expect in middle school, but every time I read it I wish I went to the exact school that they're describing- they don't talk about cliques or anything like that and that's a problem in my school. But I still really like this book.

I was going to a new school for tenth grade and I just happened to love "American Girl" books. Anyway, even though it's supposed to be specifically for middle schoolers, it can also be for high schoolers starting out or anyone going to a new school. The information in here is helpful and very informative. The illustrations are great and the quizzes are very enjoyable. I reccomend this book for any girl between the ages of eleven and seventeen.

This book was very helpful to me. I liked it beacause it showed you everything you needed to know to become successful in just about any middle school.There was orginization tips, dressing tips, and even the low down on teachers! I think that this book would be helpful to anyone starting middle school soon. This was definitely a great buy.
