Middle School Monday – Cooking School
So I’m on vacation, as you might expect, and reading things that I can’t review for a while. But I’m thinking about an offer I had over the Thanksgiving weekend. Friends whom I visit once or twice a year said me, “We had this great idea, but only if you think it’s a great idea.” […]

Middle School Monday – Superheroes Don’t Eat Veggie Burgers by Gretchen Kelley
I was more than pleasantly surprised by this story of new sixth grader, Charlie Burger.

Middle School Monday – The Girl in the Well is Me by Karen Rivers

Kammie has recently moved from the northeast to a small […]

Middle School Monday – What’s Not to Love?
I love my job – I mean really love my job. I (to most people’s constant perplexity) find middle school age students delightful. And weird. Delightfully weird. I get to share my love of reading and help both students and staff members find great things to read that speak to them where they are. I […]

Middle School Monday – Christmas Present Selections
My nephew is in his last year of Middle School, and his mother says he is reading constantly. He has a continued fixation on 20th Century history, so I sought out some books I thought he might not have been exposed to for his Christmas presents. There is a wealth of excellent options these days, […]
