Interesting,
personal, and practical, this book is a fresh resource for educators
and parents who want to improve their understanding of what makes these
no-longer-children-but-not-yet-fully-adolescents tick.
The
author, a seasoned veteran of 19 years as a middle school teacher and
now a professor, combines his own experience with the findings of
research and solid information from the literature to present in this
volume just about everything you should know about young adolescents.
Not a book to be read and put aside, but a resource to keep on hand to
re-read, refer to, and cite in your work guiding the education and
development of these magical, mysterious young people who are coming of
age.
