Reynolds, a teacher, offers quirky, frank guidance on "making middle school meaningful"--everything from overcoming negative comparisons (or stopping evil space gnomes from stealing your garlic bread) to recognizing that parents and teachers sometimes take their own issues out on students. Cartoonish spot illustrations and inspirational quotes contribute to an overall light tone. Interspersed writing exercises reinforce the lessons. Reading list, websites.
