Man VS Nature
Very nicely written and believable story. A story I have remembered since I first read it in Middle School. I still use it in my Middle School classroom today. Haven't met a student that hasn't enjoyed reading it! You will cry!

I would use thiswhen I was allowed to pick the books I taught. Loved it and it was good for both boys and girls.

Believe it or not, this series got me through a lot of tough times in middle school.

RIP Homeless Steve.

I remember being completely enthralled by this novel when I was in middle school. I read it in 1998, when it was first published in the USA, and I thought I was the coolest kid in school for being the first one to check it out of the school library. The first chapter had me hooked on the series.

An eye opening account of a young girl. Definitely not a middle school book. Interesting story of a girl who has run away and lives a life as an adult quickly.

The film almost forces the viewer to remember being in middle school, and that is somehow simultaneously cathartic and unbearably embarrassing.

Fun Middle School Origin Story
Bruce Wayne stands out at his middle school, Gotham Preparatory School for the Really, Really Gifted. No, not because of the wealth he’s inherited from him parents but because he’s the only one without any powers. But when he sees a student bullying another kid, he decides he has to do something. Will he come up with a plan?

This is a fun alternative take on Batman’s origins including cameos from other DC super heroes. The story was entertaining, and I laughed multiple times as I was reading. Be sure to look at the illustrations since some of the jokes are in there. This graphic novel is a very fun read.
  
Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010)
Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010)
2010 | Comedy, Family
The first of 3 films, about a kid trying to fit in at middle school. Everyone can relate to a large part of the film. Starting a new school, with older kids, growing up and trying to fit in. It has a few childish moments meant to be funny for very young viewers perhaps. Overall a decent family comedy film.
