Review
As the third in a series this title is a strong entry about a group of students who are starting middle school. Each tween faces his/her own fear about starting a year without their favorite teacher but find a way to get involved in his classroom after school. Drama and emotions are present in the text as the students approach romance, bullying, school government, family issues and body image issues. What is not common in a middle school text is the focus on the town and school budget. This group of students proves to be strong minded and dedicated making them excellent role models.
Christian schools will like the frequent religious references. Readers will appreciate the writing style which employs journal entries as well as a list of rules.
Overall Book Score: good
