Middle School is Worse than Meatloaf: A Year Told Through Stuff- The main character is Ginny, who is in the seventh grade and is concerned with the normal things most girls are concerned with during middle school. She worries about her hair, pink sweater, ex-friend, passing classes, getting along with her mother and brother and finding a new father. Ginny's life is told through her report cards, assignments, notes to friends, instant messaging and receipts. She hates meatloaf and compares it to her year in school. In the end her year in 7th grade is not so bad, since she ends up winning the Science Fair.
It is an exciting book to read for the visual learner and a great read for the reluctant reader. The format used to tell the story is innovative and will appeal to students about to enter middle school.
