Middle school is all about change. In the opening section, girls take a quiz to determine how they respond to change, then receive tips on how to cope with the big changes that they're getting ready to face as they start middle school- switching classes, getting up earlier, and having their own lockers, all while learning to manage a new school, new teachers, new friends, and LOTS more homework and activities! The secret to feeling more confident as she starts middle school is having a little insight into what to expect. This book provides that information as well as Smart Girl's tips from girls who have already made the grade in the big school.

Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 5-8–The colorful cartoons attempt to offset the dry content of this book. The advice that it imparts is common sense and most girls will already know what it has to tell them. A few interesting checklists and articles are included, as is a rather scary listing of the four types of teachers that might leave readers wondering if there are any good instructors in middle school. Discussions of safety issues and the library do not appear. This title is likely to be a shelf-sitter.–Kim Donius, Alfred-Almond Central School, Almond, NY

A Kid's Review
Format:Paperback
I'm in sixth grade right now, and in the summer of 2005, I was really scared about starting a whole new part of school. I was afraid I'd get lost, I would get bad grades, or none of the teachers were nice. But I was totally wrong for thinking about all of that. This book reassured me for the years to come, and made me feel that I wasn't alone. There were thousands of girls across the country starting middle school too. I felt prepared as I walked into the halls of middle school for the first time, and I felt confident that I would survive. And I did, for it's almost the end of the school year, and I'm having a great time!

I was going to a new school for tenth grade and I just happened to love "American Girl" books. Anyway, even though it's supposed to be specifically for middle schoolers, it can also be for high schoolers starting out or anyone going to a new school. The information in here is helpful and very informative. The illustrations are great and the quizzes are very enjoyable. I reccomend this book for any girl between the ages of eleven and seventeen.
