This handbook is specifically geared for students who are about to leave elementary school and begin middle school. This is quite a jump for students as they will have many different classes and teachers to go to. There may also be anxiety about keeping up with homework, and dealing with friends, drama, peer pressure, and the stresses that come with growing up. The unique and valuable aspect to this book is that it is written mostly by middle school students themselves, sharing their advice for the younger students based on what they have learned about middle school during their first couple years in it.
