26 Tips for Surviving Grade 6

Humourous Advice

“Some people can sell their help for thousands of dollars, Becky thought. I can’t even give mine away.”

Forget social studies, math, and science — this novel is about surviving some of the real problems girls face in the sixth grade: jealous friends, first crushes, embarrassing parents, and annoying older brothers.

Becky Lennox has an opinion on everything to do with tween life, and she shares all she learns with honesty and humour in this middle-grade award-winning comedy.

“26 Tips for Surviving Grade 6 is a simply told yet fast-paced and colourful blend of humour and drama [with] well-rounded, credible characters…. Highly recommended.” – Canadian Materials

  Hi Anna. I hope you like the book and I hope you have as much fun in grade 6 as the main character Becky has. Sorry I won’t see you at Bookfest – I am really enjoying my visit to Nanaimo and I can’t wait to see what Bookfest is like. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
