My Future and My Changes, the two latest books in the Middle School Survival Series, inform middle school students about (you guessed it) changes and the future. Some “tweens” may or may not already be addressing some of these issues, but all can learn something from these books.
With topics ranging from high school to money to death, My Future is an attempt to get an 11-year-old to start looking past the present. This not only provides a headstart in terms of maturity but also will help tweens expand spiritually.

My Changes is a handbook for tweens on how to understand what is happening to their bodies. From the lighthearted to the nitty-gritty, physical and emotional changes are sorted out. This book is written to help give students understanding and confidence during a difficult and confusing time in their lives.
Adaptable for small groups, an easy read for parents who want to be ready for what is ahead in their child’s life, or just a short read for students who aren’t really into reading—these books are a decent addition to your parent resource library.
