Surviving Seventh Grade

by Glenn Currie

Overview

Surviving Seventh Grade is set in the 1950s, before life was complicated by smart phones, video games, texting and even personal computers. It focuses – with humor – on the emotions and problems of becoming a teenager – as seen through the eyes of a thirteen-year-old boy. These issues remain very similar to what kids deal with today as they begin “junior high” or middle school.

Editorial Reviews

Currie is blessed with amazing recall. With seeming ease, he summons up his life as a ten year old . . . In this book, he outdoes himself. (On A Boy's First Diary)
