Summary:

Randy is a simple sixth grader. He's scared enough about being in a new school environment with kids that he hasn't seen before - why does puberty have to be thrown into the mix? But it isn't like his friend Alan's puberty - the hair growth, the attractions to girls, and the maturity change from elementary school (mostly...) Why can't Randy have it easy, like other boys? Why does he have to be thrown through emotional rings of fire? Why does he have to become an outcast and loose his friends?

If you&#039;re reading this I&#039;m sure I owe you at least one of these: I&#039;m Sorry. I Forgive You. You Were Right. And most importantly, Thank You. If you&#039;ve made me smile, you&#039;ve helped me live.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, or fabulous?

I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times-- middle school is the hardest thing in the world for teens!

This is interesting and honest, but you have a few typos and minor errors (loose versus lose) that could be fixed.

 

Please check out my novel SuperNOVA and leave your thoughts on it! I think you'll enjoy it.
