About This Book
The middle school years are like a roller coasterwild and scary but also fun and way cool. One minute you're way, way up there, and the next minute you're plunging down into the depths. Not surprisingly, sometimes you may find yourself feeling confused and lost. Not to worry though. Just like on a roller-coaster ride, at the end of all this crazy middle school stuff, you'll be laughing and screaming and talking about how awesome it all was.
Right now, however, chances are your body is changing so much that it's barely recognizable, your old friends may not share your interests anymore, and your life at school is suddenly hugely complicated. And let's not even get into the whole boy issue. It's a wonder that you can still think straight at all.
Fortunately, reader dear, help is here. This book is your road map. It's also a treasure chest filled with ideas and advice. Armed with this book and with your own inner strength (trust us, you have plenty), you can safely, confidently navigate the twists and turns of your middle school years. It will be tough going, and sometimes you'll wonder if you'll ever get through it. But youfabulous, powerful, unique youare up to the task. This book is just a place to start.

1 It's Your World After All
It's a rainy Sunday afternoon, and there's nothing to do, as usual. Your best bud isn't around, you've already talked to your crushtwice, and you're flipping through all the TV stations yet again. Your mom asks, "Why don't you get off the couch and find something to do?" for the millionth time.
"I would," you mutter to yourself, "if there was anything worth doing."
You're tired of all the same old stuff. You want to do something that's different, new, definitely exciting, and maybe even a little glamorous. But you have no money, no carand even if you did, no driver's licenseand no ideas.
Dishin' the Dirt on Volunteering
Ever thought about volunteering? Yeah, that's right, volunteering. As a volunteer, you offer your time and talent to an organization that needs it. Two things make volunteering really great.
