High School: The Real Deal: From GPAs to Graduation

Juliana Farrell. HarperTrophy, $7.95 (144pp) ISBN 978-0-380-81314-8

Juliana Farrell and Colleen Rush's High School: The Real Deal from GPAs to Graduation follows the rhythms of the academic year beginning with ""The Top Five Myths About High School"" and ""Dos and Don'ts for your first day (and beyond)"" right through to advice on college applications. For younger students, Middle School: The Real Deal from Cafeteria Food to Combination Locks by Juliana Farrell and Beth Mayall focuses on more practical tips for the first day of school (such as knowing when the day starts and what the bus route is) and the all-important ""Who do I sit with at lunch?,"" suggesting that students scope out possible cafeteria partners during classes. The books' hip graphics will appeal to the computer-savvy set. ( Apr.)
