[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe take a look at Nicole Melleby’s books? I just read a very positive review of her new one, “Winnie Nash is not Your Sunshine,” and some of previous books look good, too.

I also highly recommend, “Maybe He Just Likes You,” by Barbara Dee. Contemporary realistic fiction, extraordinarily well done and with empathy for everyone involved. Multifaceted, too - not just about Middle School #MeToo (peers, not adults!!), touches on other aspects of middle school, both interesting and routine. It’s one of the few middle school books I read before suggesting it to DD. Good stuff. Looking forward to having DS read it when he’s in middle school, too.[/quote]

Spoiler comment…..

Do not read So Maybe He Just Likes You if would upset you to have the resolution being that a 7th grade girl has to be the one to educate the entire male school population and school educators (male and female) about what should not be happening to the girl. It can be a tough read if would hit too close to home.[/quote]
