Synopsis

"Mahoney authentically captures the universal indignities of middle school, the challenges of self-discovery, and the joy of making true friends." —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

Dear Lou,

You've been asking and asking about what middle school is like, but I just thought they were annoying-younger-sister questions. Even though I am almost done with my first year, I can still remember when I thought middle school was a mystery, so I'll try to give you a leg up. I know middle school is a lot to figure out. But since I still haven't worked it all out yet, I'm happy to help as much as I can. That's what big sisters are for.

Love, Gus

Discover the ins and outs of middle school in this guide from an older sister to her younger sister. From tackling a new building to meeting new people like the assistant principal, the class pet, the Huggers, the renegade, the tomato kid, your old best friend's new best friend, this is a must-listen for everyone starting middle school.

With wit and warmth, Kristin Mahoney, author of Annie's Life in Lists, delivers heartwarming, pitch-perfect advice, ideal for anyone nervously approaching middle school.

I LOVED this book. I read it my 11-year old daughter who just started middle school. We laughed, we cried and we wished it didn't end. We saw the author read at WORDS bookstore in Maplewood....it was a great experience. This book had loveable characters and a great message!......more

Goodreads review by Karen on August 09, 2019

As a middle school teacher of 9 years, I can say that this story really captures what it feels like to enter middle school and the angst of becoming a teenager. Augusta's story was incredibly accurate and one that students can definitely relate to. I loved the story of Gus trying to find her village......more

Augusta has had a rough year, her parents got a divorce and she has started 6th grade in middle school. Both cause lots of life changes. She has to split her time between her mother's and father's homes, and money is tight, so the promised contact lenses are out of the question. Her sister Louise is......more
