A girls' guide to middle school mojo
We're heading into our second year of middle school, here, and it's been... interesting. It's definitely a whole different ballgame than elementary school, particularly for girls, who tend to morph into social piranhas pretty early.

Is your little darling feeling some trepidation about this new phase? No sweat!
The creators of Girls' Life magazine teamed up with Scholastic, and their Ultimate Guide to Surviving Middle School hits just the right notes in making junior high sound like a brave new adventure. It's positive and energetic without veering into chirpy, and discusses everything from making new friends, to keeping your grades up, to dealing with acne.

This is the book she'll keep under her pillow, and reach for after that cute boy laughed when she tripped in the cafeteria. It may not make her middle school experience perfect, but it'll go a long way towards making sure she knows she'll get through it (we all did, right?) and have some fun along the way. -Mir

You can buy the
Ultimate Guide to Surviving Middle School from our affiliate, Amazon.
