In middle school, words aren't just words. They can be weapons. They can be gifts. The right words can win you friends or make you enemies. They can come back to haunt you. Sometimes they can change things forever. When cell phones are banned at Branton Middle School, Frost and his friends Deedee, Wolf, and Bench come up with a new way to communicate: leaving sticky notes for each other all around the school. It catches on, and soon all the kids in school are leaving notes - though for every kind and friendly one, there is a cutting and cruel one as well.

She is smarter than most of the adults who try to diagnose her and smarter than her classmates in her integrated classroom - the very same classmates who dismiss her as mentally challenged because she cannot tell them otherwise. But Melody refuses to be defined by cerebral palsy.

Please stop
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
No, the narrator's character voices were painfully bad, the volume fluctuations along with the abysmal reading had our entire family saying "please stop" within the first 20 minutes.Or family has enjoyed listening to many of Gordan Korman's books the narrator wrecked this one for us.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Sixth Grade Nickname Game?
Turning it off.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Completely.
Do you think The Sixth Grade Nickname Game needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
If it has a different narrator.
Any additional comments?
No
