“We are getting our 5th graders ready for a new environment—middle school. . . . Students are taking skills they’ve learned from Middle School Confidential and utilizing them in their daily lives. . . . The students who have read the series have had a noticeably improved attitude about entering middle school. That shift in perspective is allowing kids not to dread but embrace their middle grade years. I encourage teachers, school librarians, and parents to get these on your bookshelves.

“Be Confident in Who You Are gives parents the gift of opening a dialog with their middle school children on the issues they face. While Annie Fox writes to children in their language, parents are reminded of how stressful these times can be. Skip the next movie and read this book with your kids instead.”

“Smart and funny and real, these tips and tools will help you deal with real life issues. I wish I had this book when I was in middle school.”

“Well, it’s that time of year again. We are getting our 5th graders ready for a new environment—middle school. Just bringing up this topic can raise anxiety in the room. So wouldn’t it be nice to have a hip, relevant, contemporary book series to help students transition from elementary to middle school? Done and done! Series found. And how do I know Middle School Confidential is doing wonders for future middle schoolers? Since the moment I introduced the books, I’ve barely seen them since. A steady stream of 5th graders have been checking them out from my bookshelf.

“When asking kids how they like the series and how it’s helping them, I was delighted by their responses. Students are taking skills they’ve learned from Middle School Confidential and utilizing them in their daily lives. One student recommended I share with 5th graders an activity called ‘Who Are Your Real Friends?’ from Real Friends vs. the Other Kind because it helped her evaluate her own friendships. A book that decreases friendship drama? Love it.

“The students who have read the series have had a noticeably improved attitude about entering middle school. That shift in perspective is allowing kids not to dread but embrace their middle grade years. I encourage teachers, school librarians, and parents to get these on your bookshelves. They won’t be sitting idle for long.”—Roxanne, elementary school counselor, operator of Books That Heal Kids Blog
