This is exciting. I was just telling someone last weekend that we should eliminate completely what we now know as middle school and instead replace it all with experiences, internships, positive habits, etc. I look forward to reading/sharing with my MS kids.

I'd like to see that happen too! This new book sounds amazing & its back story is too. I love that your daughter is now old enough to be like, no, Dad. No. ;)

Very excited by the ‘bookbaby’ news. I’m sure child no.1 was a gruesome critic! Looking forward to some great conversations next week

Can’t wait to read it, Chris.

I believe all the same things about middle schoolers. Experiences are what matters. They’re what shape all of us!

Also, love your 6th grade daughter as editor!
