Interesting, personal, and practical, this book is a fresh resource for educators and parents who want to improve their understanding of what makes these no-longer-children-but-not-yet-fully-adolescents tick.
The author, a seasoned veteran of 19 years as a middle school teacher and now a professor, combines his own experience with the findings of research and solid information from the literature to present in this volume just about everything you should know about young adolescents. Not a book to be read and put aside, but a resource to keep on hand to re-read, refer to, and cite in your work guiding the education and development of these magical, mysterious young people who are coming of age.
