What is "In the Middle?"

I am a middle school media specialist/teacher librarian who loves to read. I recently completed a 23things online course. Check out my other blog "Reading and Technology Rants" which addresses web 2.0 tools that enhance both the educational experience and our personal lives. Here you will find reviews about books and authors who cater to the middle school audience. We are a unique group, starting with 6th graders who are acclimating to middle school and moving along to the 13/14 year old 8th grader, coming of age.
