Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life

Order today!
By James Patterson, Laura Parker, Chris Tebbetts

"Rafe Khatchadorian has enough problems at home without throwing his first year of middle school and the school bully Miller (aka Miller the Killer) into the mix. Luckily, he's got an ace plan for the best year ever, if only he can pull it off: With his best friend Leonardo the Silent awarding him points, Rafe tries to break every rule in his school's oppressive Code of Conduct.

But when Rafe's game starts to catch up with him, he'll have to decide if winning is all that matters, or if he's finally ready to face the rules, bullies, and truths he's been avoiding. "

Sue Scheff: Middle School Confidential - Teen Summer Reading


Real Friends vs. the Other Kind
By Annie Fox
I just received and finished this amazing, colorful and educational book. Middle School kids would definitely benefit from reading this. It is a very easy read and offers first hand advice, tips and feelings from other teens. The illustrations keep you turning the pages and the comic strip characters are probably people your kids can relate to.

It's summer - kids go to the beach - with the sunscreen, be sure they pack a book!

Sue Scheff: A Parents' Guide to the Middle School Years


By Joe Bruzzese
I loved this book! Why? Not because I have middle school kids (I have young adults, but I wish I had this book and advice back then), but I am anxious to pass this on to my sister since my niece will be entering Middle School next year.

What I am saying is - if you have a child entering Middle School this fall, this book is an educational and valuable book that can help you prepare for the changes your child is about to confront.

From peer pressure, to "sex talk", to bullying and much more - the Middle School years can be the most challenging.

As the Founder of Parents' Universal Resource Experts, I receive calls from parents daily that are struggling with their teens, usually in High School already, and I can't help but think if parents had this book prior Middle School, many of the problems kids face in High School could be limited or at least handled with ease.

Sue Scheff: Parent Summer Reading



A Parents' Guide to the Middle School Years

By Joe Bruzzese, MA

After finishing this terrific book, it will now be passed to my sister. Why? My niece will be entering Middle School and I think this book is priceless for every parent that has a child making that big and challenging step into Middle School.

The author, Joe Bruzzese, reminds me of the difficult times my kids went through, and I wish I had a book like this back then. Today's parents may have more challenges (or different from generations ago), however they also are fortunate to have more resources such as books like this one.

From dealing with your child's initial day of a new school and schedule, to how to help organize your child's studies (even discussing productive and effective ways to purchase your school supplies) from that dreadful fear of P.E. and changing in the locker room for the first time. This guide will also help a parent find a sound balance between academics and the importance of balancing school activities.

I could go on and on, if you do have a child entering Middle School, this is a great summer reading for you! As a bonus to this book, Joe Bruzzese offers several pages of valuable resources dedicated to giving parents more information on parenting today.
