The book just starts with the lives of jr high/middle school kids, with no explanaion of who is telling the story! So, I suggest that you read the appendix first which explains that the author just hung out with a bunch of kids for a whole year. It bothered me that she would say stuff like, "Jimmy thought..." I think there were a lot of assumptions, both positive & negative, on the part of the author. Also, I read several reviews that said this book was "chilling" or "frightening" to parents. I think those were reviews by old people. You might call me old for having been in jr high over 15 years ago, but I mean really old people...like your grandma or someone. It pretty much just showed that the kids were both ambitious & lazy at the same time (ie...I want to be a movie star and an author and a race car driver, but I am just going to watch TV for now) and they are starting to feel some stirrings toward the opposite sex. It really was nothing terribly shocking to me. From the reviews I thought there would be graphic sex and drugs and swearing. Sadly, no. It did make me reflect back on my days in jr high. Those were not fun days. I remember trying to be very cool as a 9th grader so that my little 7th grade sister would know she as a peon (pee-on?) She was in a band concert once. She "played" the clarinet. I actually only heard her practice or play twice--ever. It was bad. Bad bad bad. And some more bad. Not that most people say, "Man, I just want to hear the sweet, sweet song of a clarinet right now. That will really calm my nerves," but you also rarely hear people say, "To this day the sound of a poorly played clarinet makes me want to hit my sister and then tattle on her." Anyway, I came up with a way to totally humiliate her in front of her band teacher, parents, and most importantly, her geeky friends. I was going to call out "Go Abby!!!" at the end of the concert while everyone else was clapping. The concert ended. Everyone was politely clapping. I hollered out, "Woot! Abby!", but everyone was still clapping too loud, so mostly no one heard. And Abby definitely did not hear because she did not turn a deep shade of red and keel over from embarrassment. So I tried again. "Yay! Abby!" A few people heard since the applause was dying down. But dang that Abby! She still didn't hear! Again "ABBY! You rock!" Nothing, except a few more people turned around to see who was yelling. So, I finally waited until there were only like two people clapping, then I screamed out, "Yay! Abby!! Good job!!!!!!!! Woo wooooooooooo!!" This time most of the auditorium turned to look at me with expressions of "Why are you screaming? #1 Did you just have a stroke or something and #2 it was not all that good!" One of the boys that I loved that I was sure was secretly in love with me turned around and rolled his eyes at me. And that is the story of how I [attempted to:] humiliate my sister in jr high. Had I thought it through a bit more, I might have come up with something better than cheering her on. If only I could relive my life... Dear sister...you are welcome.
