Middle School Is Worse than Meatloaf: A Year Told through Stuff

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Elicia Castaldi. Ginny's event-filled seventh-grade year is presented through attractively doodled to-do lists, notes, report cards, writing assignments, and IMs. Her widowed mother dates and remarries, her troubled older brother gets sent to military school, and Ginny contends with friendships old and new. A well-rounded portrait of Ginny and her family shines through the concise entries.
