Hormone Jungle: Coming of Age in Middle School

by Brod Bagert
PRMS, paperback, 120 pages

Interesting that a man wrote this book of a girl's middle school scrapbook. Mary Verbick shared this with me last year. Christina Curtis is heading to college and she unearths her middle school journal, filled with poetry. It all began with a poetry war between Thor (Steven Gilley) and Athena (Christina). A fun, quick, "real" story. It made me cry at the end . . . and I had a hispanic student help me translate some phrases. Enjoyable.
