Join us for an event with Jessica Speer on August 6th! In this interactive presentation, Jessica Speer will share how this book grew of out conversations with 7th graders and the top ten things students identified as the trickiest things about middle school. Then, some of these topics will be dissected to explain what is really going on beneath the surface. All ages welcome. Registration requested at bookbardenver.eventbrite.com.About the Book: Take a large group of kids in puberty, send them to a new school, and add a generous dose of tests, homework, and hormones, not to mention diverse personalities, bland food, and unpleasant odors. That’s middle school, and it can be a little . . . weird.
Yes, there are cool things about middle school, like more independence, new friends, and new activities. But there’s baffling stuff too, like harsh judgment, the whole “popularity” thing, and, of course, drama. With insights from hundreds of students, this guidebook explores the halls of middle school, especially the odd behaviors that lurk in the shadows. Slip on your lab coats, because we’re going to dissect these behaviors one by one to understand what’s really going on. With fun illustrations and choose-your-own-adventure-style scenarios, Middle School—Safety Goggles Advised will help you deal with the drama and define who you are and how to navigate life when things get, well, weird.
