I <3 Ellen Wittlinger

Ellen Wittlinger has a new middle-grade novel out!!!!

(Sorry, Indiebound doesn't have a link yet.)

The title is THIS MEANS WAR! and I have to say, it's really wonderful. I read the book out loud to my son (age 10) and at the end of every chapter he wanted to have long discussions about friendship, boys versus girls, parents and how stressed out they get over money, the Cuban Missile Crisis, bullying, peer pressure, fear, belonging, making mistakes... you name it.

I love when the characters beco...
