The YOUNG ADOLESCENT LEARNER New book: NOT MUCH JUST CHILLIN': The Hidden Lives of Middle Schoolers (FSG: Sept. 2003) by Linda Perlstein, an award-winning education writer for the Washington Post. NOT MUCH JUST CHILLIN' goes deep into the lives of middle schoolers, over the course of a year, to illuminate for parents a world that is hidden from them. For more information, visit www.notmuchjustchillin.com. Reporting what she saw and heard, Perlstein explains
what's really going on under the don't-touch-me façade of
these critically formative years, in which kids grapple with schoolwork,
puberty, romance, identity, and new kinds of relationships with
their parents and peers. PRAISE FOR THE BOOK: "Linda Perlstein has managed to embed herself in the lives and minds of middle schoolers, thoroughly capturing both the major issues and the minutiae that govern the course of these crucial years. A terrific read for parents and other adults who need to navigate along with them." --Rachel Simmons, author of ODD GIRL OUT: The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls Reviews: |
