Everyone with a middle schooler/preteen/tween and everyone who will have one should have this book!! I am so excited about this book. We are always on a quest to equip ourselves to help our son through life and honesty, I know the middle school years can be a challenge. I remember it and I taught middle schoolers for a while. I appreciate the uniqueness of this book in that there is input from middle schoolers. I love that it covers communicating, independence and discipline, conflict, faith, school, romance and all the new challenges kids face like technology, Internet and gaming. I long for building and keeping a loving relationship with my son and I really resonate with this book!! I highly recommend it!!
