Have you ever been dumped- by someone you didn't even know you were going out with? Have you ever felt your life depended on having the right pair of jeans? Have you ever been called one or more of the following:
Freak
Loser
Weirdo
Alien
Sucker
Slut
Skank
New Girl
Goth Boy
Crater Face
Nerd
?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you have experienced the joys of middle school. Whether you're past the torture or still stuck in the middle of it, you'll find echoes of your life in this collection of painfully hilarious comics. Sixteen critically acclaimed cartoonists have dug into their agonizing memories to bring you stories that will crack you up and break your heart. Edited by autobiographical comic artist Ariel Schrag, this anthology goes where few adults dare to return: the treacherous halls of middle school.
