This is a great book that I recommend to a lot of my students- it has a lot of good information about starting middle school, friendships, boyfriends/girldfriends, parents, and a lot more. So since so many people have posted questions on here about starting middle school, I just thought I would suggest this as a good resource for you!
"Too Old For This, Too Young For That!: Your Survival Guide For the Middle School Years"
