Totally Middle School: Tales of Friends, Family, and Fitting In

(3) 4-6 After a supportive editor's note, this anthology includes pieces in prose, verse, letters, and more, all centered--some directly, some more loosely--on middle school. Gary D. Schmidt's heartwrenching story takes place during the Vietnam War; David Wiesner contributes a brief graphic-novel memoir. Each entry includes a short biography of the author and a thumbnail photo of him or her in middle school. First-day tips are appended.
