Hi! Just a quick note to say I really recommend the Middle School Confidential books by Annie Fox. From the website:
A one of a kind fiction/non-fiction hybrid, Middle School Confidential™ is part-full color graphic novel and part smart talk life skills. Each book focuses on a common stumbling block on the road to high school and beyond. And in each one, readers follow the adventures of a group of 7th graders who are just trying to navigate through the ever-changing drama taking place in their friendships, their families and, of course, at good old Milldale Middle School.
A great read for both pre-teens and their parents.
Annie Fox hosts a great blog, too!
