A seventh grader adjusts to changing schools—and the changes in his body—in this classic coming of age novel from a Newberry Award–winning author.

"A rich, rewarding novel about adolescence, achingly honest, excruciatingly funny." —Kirkus Reviews

A new school year has Jason Herkimer heading into the dangerous world of junior high school. As a seventh grader, he's now a small fish in a big pond full of new threats. There's pimples, football, and school dances. It's so scary that he won't even enter the bathroom if a ninth grader is in there—no matter how badly he has to go!

Of course, it's not all bad. He's building a model space station in shop class, and he's noticing things he's never paid attention to before, like body hair—and girls. Especially, the beautiful, hair-flicking Debbie Breen.

"Marvelous, often hilarious . . . sure to be gobbled up." —School Library Journal (starred review)

"A truly funny book." —Horn Book

"Of all the books done or the early adolescent . . . during the last ten years, Space Station Seventh Grade is the one that most successfully captures both the heart and soul of the child, family, and school." —Jim Trelease, bestselling author of The Read-Aloud Handbook
