Overview

Funny, outlandish, and sometimes poignant true short stories from those who teach middle school. If you survived middle school, are in middle school, or will someday attend middle school, heck, if you know anyone who ever went to or even drove past a middle school, these uncensored, spot on stories are written for and about you. With topics ranging from adolescent vulgarity, to helicopter parenting, fakes and forgeries, and locker room antics, the shared suffering and humor of adolescent angst that binds us all together makes this a laugh out loud and maybe cry out loud must read book.
