This seems like such a dumb book to read now, like why did I even bother worrying about it so much. But I did, and when I was all freaked out about going into middle school I was obsessed about reading this book. It does have lots of little helpful tips.
So when I first started middle school (6th grade for me) I was very nervous and afraid everyone would not like me (I was from a different district) and what my homework, schedule, teachers and classes would be like. I got this book before I went to middle school of coarse and I have been using it throughout my middle school years 6-7 and Im currently in 7th and things have been AWESOME (except for my skills in math sadly I will never be good at math) and I want to go to middle school every day!...more

My Dad got me this book so that I can be ready for Middle School. I think that the book a smart girl's guide to starting middle school helped me a lot. Because now that I'm in middle school met a lot of friends & I know all the teachers. They are really cool!! I think that this book helped me & let me learn all about middle school & what to expect and handle things in school. I would read it again!!!
I got it today, hoping it would prepare me for middle school.
NO!! It was NOT helpful whatsoever. Don't bother getting it unless you're looking for bad hints, weird pics, or anything else like that.
Please don't get this, it's not helpful, you're better off without this book! It actually made me worry more !!!!!!!

This book would have been helpful to me before I started Junior High School many years ago. I hope my almost-middle-schooler will find it helpful. If nothing else, it gives us a place to start talking about things. Maybe it will help her form questions she didn't know she had.
Wish I would've known about this book before M started middle school. It would've allayed a lot of fears and worries! She's reading it now ... better late than never. It has a lot of great pearls in it, and sometimes these pearls are more readily accepted when someone other than your mom is handing them to you.
This book gave me many great tips about middle school.I recommend it to other smart girls that are going into middle school like me. Ha Ha! :] :) they are both happy faces by the way.
I got it as a christmas present and it was really good!
It gave some really good advice, answered a lot of my problems and I could relate to it!
TOTALLY RECOMMEND IT!

I love this book! But I suggest you get this book earlier in maybe 3rd or 4th grade so you don't have to only have it for 1 year than throw it away. It really helps!!
It had some pretty good tips in it. Even my brother, who was scoffing at it earlier, took a peek at it and admitted it actually did have some good and true tips in it.
This book is great for girls who are starting middle school. Once i finished reading it i was so ready for what was coming towards me because i wasn't afraid.
This book is so helpful from how to study, who to talk to when, moods of teachers, and so much more. I suggest it to people in middle school
I thought this book was real helpful when I first started middle school, every once in awhile I still reference it.
I'm about to start middle school (I'm 10) and this book has everything you need to know about middle school.
This is a good book if you are a girl going into middle school.It tell you alot about middle school
Ok, I mean it wasn't the best when you are in a different country besides the USA, but it was fine.
An absolutely great book it gives you a lot of info. on what middle school is like.
This book is amazing! All the stuff a 5th grader needs to get through middle school!
