    • Must read
Format: Paperback
I bought for my granddaughter who will be starting middle school. I think it’s a good book for her to read.

    • Wonderful resource for the female middleschooler in your life
Format: Paperback
http://yourmiddleschooler.blogspot.com/2011/02/book-review-smart-girlss-guide-to.html Book Review: a smart girls's guide to starting middle school I recently came across this book while looking for a gift for my niece. I think it would be a great gift for any 4th or 5th grader moving on to middle school. There is so much practical information, hypothetical situations (with good solutions) and suggestions on all kinds of kid relevant middle school topics. I couldn't think of a topic that wasn't covered. The book itself is written in a style that makes it easy to read. Information is provided in short bursts making it a quick and easy to understand read. It's published by American Girl. I know American Girl dolls, accessories magazine and crafts are still very hot with the younger girls. I also assume older girls still love their dolls/memorabilia as memories and collectibles. Knowing that this book is part of that tradition might provided a nice bridge for them. Every little girl in my life will get a copy of this book before they make the big and sometimes scary transition to middle school. I would also suggest that parents take a glance at the book. I believe that would help to foster some good conversation about what to expect in middle school, help alleviate worries and let your daughter know she can always talk to you about Middle School concerns. Now what do we do about the boys out there. Has anyone seen a similar book written for them? I'll have to research a little more. ... show more

    • Easy-to-read book for incoming middle school girls
Format: Paperback
I bought this book for my rising 6th grader. She has just started middle school and is understandably nervous. This book goes over many topics in a simple, easy-to-read format (which is especially good for kids who don't love to read ... my daughter included). It has a great question and answer format in some sections that covers many questions a new middle schooler may have but might be afraid to ask. Because this book is geared towards girls, it covers some topics more in-depth, like making friends (and losing friends), gossiping and bullying. I recommend getting this book for your child BEFORE they start middle school - I got it for her a few weeks in, and by now, she has experienced many of the things the book covers. ... show more

    • This series is brilliant
Format: Paperback
Can't tell say how many parents of 11 year olds I've met who say, "you won't believe this, but the American Girl doll company publishes these fantastic books...." They've gotten amazing psychologists and writers to create these books. The voice is just perfect for young girls starting puberty, experiencing social changes in themselves and friends, and the advice is always spot on, in a time of life that can be bewildering. Now, if they just did guide books for parenting too... ... show more

Perfect for the preteen going into Middle School. It covers every category a young teen will face transitioning to Middle school. I was impressed with the format and the content. Every preteen should have a copy .

    • Amazing!
Format: Paperback
My granddaughter ABSOLUTELY LOVES this book. She said she feels so much better about middle school. Now her fear has turned to excitement! Still some apprehension about homework assignments but outside of that…..
