My friends and I had whole notebooks that we traded in between classes, so it would look like we were taking notes on the class while we were really writing back and forth. <br /><br />Of course, now you would just text, so that's probably not even a relevant example anymore...Lily Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17732112345439595471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004461851315310562.post-88007420957790685192010-02-25T10:51:06.963-05:002010-02-25T10:51:06.963-05:00I thought the end of the blog post read: TnAI thought the end of the blog post read: TnAAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05514067724256745623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004461851315310562.post-16713071017381883852010-02-25T01:19:13.801-05:002010-02-25T01:19:13.801-05:00My oldest son is that age.

Not the book, but the actual color. EVERYTHING was purple. <br /><br />I have a journal where I reported what I wore to every outing, and what Sue and Erin wore (my bff/s) and what Keith (my crush) wore. I don't really know why I did that.<br />There was an all purple outfit I debuted at a bowling party. It didn't go over as planned.Decemberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00579791487012447728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004461851315310562.post-75690407469812508372010-02-24T20:21:02.919-05:002010-02-24T20:21:02.919-05:00Eighth Grade protags?

Every day there was some kind of drama about who hated who. It's like they were all suddenly jockeying for position as alpha female and getting there by attacking the others.

I read those recently when I was reading through Middle Grade Fiction for a month... They were all pretty good and all feature girl MCs who were about 8th grade age (give or take a year or two).
