Book excerpt: *Now available in paperback with a brand new title: Kaboom Academy!* “Graduates of Wayside School will fit right in at the decidedly unconventional Kaboom Academy.” —Kirkus Reviews Forget everything you know about middle school while reading “this amusing and lighthearted story [that] pokes fun at traditional education, while celebrating nonconformity, individuality, and even oddity” (School Library Journal). A new middle school has just opened in Horsemouth, New Hampshire: Kaboom Academy. It’s a place where cannons go off in the middle of school assemblies, pills contain actual information, and multiplication is made, er, real. (Read: You ever wonder what it would be like if there were two of you? How about four? How about eight? Well, you’re about to find out!) The school’s new students—and the Journalism 1A class in particular—can’t believe all the shenanigans that go on. Who’s really in charge of this groundbreaking academy for boys and girls who’ve fallen out of love with learning? And what does it mean to “blow up the model for middle school”?

Is it the same as a soda? Who would collect this kind of data? Why would they collect it? How was gallons per person calculated? What was the total amount of soda sold in our state? How many 12-ounce cans is that? 20-ounce bottles? How many of each per person? Understanding Middle School Math gathers 50 cool problems like this that lead to deep thinking. Problems such as the Renovation Problem, in which students uncover ideas about how perimeter, area, length, and cost affect a construction project.

Book excerpt: Life goes by quick. One minute you're anxious to grow up, the next you're stressed at how many responsibilities you have. Life is always shifting. Right before your eyes your body, personality, and thoughts change on a daily basis. This holds true for both teenagers and adults. Navigating the world, for all of us, is perplexing, terrifying, and yet exciting all at the same time. Though it might seem the world can be bleak at times, there will always be things to amaze us and serve as reminders of the wonders there are to explore. In today's world, pressures exist all around for children and teens. The looming college life, problems at home, and demands at school can leave teens confused as to who they are and how they should act. One minute you're stressing about getting a good grade on a test and the next you're panicked over wearing the right outfit to impress your crush. Getting a good grade can feel as important as who you're going to kiss for the first time. While trying to fight your way through the jungle of junior high and high school, there are many decisions to make. Sometimes it feels like you're playing a video game and you have to choose between option A or B, both of which have unpredictable consequences and benefits. Depending on the situation, teachers and parents can turn from a comfort to the source of our anger. Our best friends can be the ones we're envious of the most and any sort of romantic relationship is full of complications. During this entire time, our minds and bodies are transforming from the children we used to be into the adults we're going to become. Throughout this book, there are two main important points that will be expanded on: 1.How to be cool 2.How to do this while staying out of trouble Spreading gossip, lying, and getting involved in other people's business can be hard to resist, especially as a pre-teen trying to traverse this crazy world. The problem many teens struggle with is they simply don't know how to do this. It feels natural to want to jump in with the gossip because it's easy and everyone else is doing it. It's a way to follow the crowd and know exactly what's next. Or, going against the norms can also give you an exact formula for how to act, dress, and think. However, getting too caught up with labels or the thoughts and opinions of other people can be the very thing that keeps you from success as a teen. By following these five steps, you can define your voice while also discovering who you are for lifetime success: 1.Build your confidence2.Manage your emotions 3.Start to know your personality 4.Manage anxiety 5.Show that off Later in the book, I'll also cover the things that will never be cool under any circumstances. But, the coolest thing you could ever do is allow your true self to show and embrace who this individual is. Only by practicing these steps as both a teen an adult will you be able to flourish.
