Summary: This book rocks!!
Review: I really liked this book even though I'm a guy and it's about a girl. Some of the same stuff has happened to me in middle school as in the pomes.

Summary: Transition to Middle School Captured in Verse
Review: The book may not qualify as great poetry, but it does a good job of showing the point of view of a child enduring the sometimes frightening, difficult, and at times even exhilarating transition to middle school. Sixth graders (or kids in the first year of middle school) are likely to really connect with the short poems in this book. It is easy to read and appealing.
