school anymore. No more babying from our parents or teachers, and
we really don't want to be treated like babies. Yet, we're not in high
school, either. We can't drive, we still have early curfews. We are
expected to be responsible for our actions, but we can't make a lot of
decisions on our own. We're stuck in the middle!
Finding great books to read is tough, too. In school, it seems teachers
are always assigning novels written for adults a hundred years ago!
Yuk! We don't want to read "baby" books either. Many authors are
writing books for middle schoolers, but sometimes grown-ups are
scared of those books. Are they appropriate for us to read? They
aren't ready to let us read grown-up books, but they don't want us
reading The Hardy Boys anymore. (Like who wants to????)
On these pages, we hope to recommend books that Middle Schoolers
will enjoy. The young adult section of the book store is full of great
reads. We may even recommend a few grown-up books. Mom will try
to add any beware comments for the grown-ups. It's important to
remember to respect everyone and to remember that what's right for
one kid isn't always right for another. So while you might not like all
the books recommended here, hopefully you will be able to find
something you will enjoy reading.
