Like the outside world, even families go through the trials and tribulations of life. These easy-to-read new books provide guidance and understanding for young people who are dealing with divorce, death, or family rules. Family Matters is on call to offer answers to life's uneasy questions relating to the family.As middle schoolers become older and more independent, they are bound to encounter conflicts with their parents and other family members -- especially when it comes to their friends. This book addresses such issues, deftly discussing potential points of contention such as peer pressure and the desire to belong to the right group, curfews, and what to do when a sibling develops a crush on your best friend. The importance of good communication is the underlying theme of this helpful, well-written, and highly readable book.
