It looks like a scrapbook of refrigerator notes, journal entries and instant messaging, but Middle School Is Worse Than Meatloaf tells an intricate story of friendship, a delinquent 
sibling and Ginny Davis’s middle school angst all liberally dosed with humour. There’s a supportive grandpa who springs for riding lessons, a new step-dad bringing new routines and a boy named Brian Bukvic who leaves Ginny notes on toilet paper squares.
Written by Jennifer L. Holm and illustrated by Elicia Castaldi (with a few comic illustrations by Matthew Holm), this unique book offers perspicacious seventh grade thought to all.
I like this great blog post.
