Suddenly they go from striving for As to barely passing, from fretting about cooties to obsessing for hours about crushes. Former chatterboxes answer in monosyllables; freethinkers mimic everything from clothes to opinions. Their bodies and psyches morph through the most radical changes since infancy.

Prize-winning education reporter Linda Perlstein spent a year immersed in the lunchroom, classrooms, hearts, and minds of a group of suburban Maryland middle schoolers and emerged with this pathbreaking account. Perlstein reveals whats really going on under kids dont-touch-me facade while they grapple with schoolwork, puberty, romance, and identity. A must-read for parents and educators, Not Much Just Chillin offers a trail map to the baffling no-mans-land between child and teen.… (més)

A journalist follows several suburband Maryland middle schoolers during the course of the 2001-02 school year. This highly readable documentary account details these students' conversations, motives or lack of, frustrations, changing friendships, dreams and relations with their parents and families. The author also ties in their actions and thought processes to the dramatic physical, emotional and brain changes that go on during this period of life. It helps explain why teens this age are the way they are. Author mentions that the emotional part of the brain is fully developed rather that the logical, organizational part so any family troubles may keep students from focusing their logical side on their studies. Empathetic presentation.

Anecdotal portraits of several middle schoolers, so this could seem pretty useless--but it's a broad cross-section of kids that are profiled with all their middle-school dramas, and it's not hard to extrapolate behavior patterns. I don't know that this gives me a lot of insight for working with teens, but it's interesting nonetheless to get a glimpse of what middle-school lives are like--and not just the life I had. ( )

Though the specifics and details are a bit dated at this point, this books should probably be required reading for anyone trying to teach middle schoolers! ( )

Not exceptionally scholarly but holds the interest of adults interfacing with the middle schoolers. You will be surprised at what you do not know!
