Middle Schoolers are Great Problem Solvers by Darlene Beck Jacobson
Writing for the middle grade population has a different set of rules than those for picture book writers.

“I can’t keep missing homework,” I added. “I’ll have all F’s on my report card.”
Cindy’s eyes got big. “Your parents will kill you.”
