Too Old for This, Too Young for That!
Your Survival Guide for the Middle School Years (Updated 2nd Edition)
Harriet S. Mosatche, Ph.D., and Karen Unger, M.A. 
Too Old for This, Too Young for That!
The transition to middle school can be difficult. Most tweens are excited about getting older, but they’re often not prepared for some of the challenges that come with growing up. Physical and emotional changes, evolving relationships, and increased expectations at school can all make for some major adjustments.

Too Old for This, Too Young for That! is a friendly, reassuring guide to help tweens successfully navigate the often-turbulent middle school years. This update of a Free Spirit classic lets readers know they’re not alone and gives them practical tips, tools, and resources for all kinds of situations, including:

  • settling in and getting the most out of school
  • getting along with friends, teachers, and family adults
  • dealing with physical and emotional changes
  • making decisions
  • handling peer pressure
  • setting and reaching goals
  • preparing for the years ahead

Life during the middle school and adolescent development years can seem like one long roller coaster ride—with ups and downs, twists and turns, and sudden starts and stops. Too Old for This, Too Young for That! is a friendly and fun manual for surviving middle school that can help tweens enjoy the ride.
