Perfect for all ages!

Have a child? Are a child? Used to be a child? EVERYONE will love this. I had the chance to see Mr. Bagert at a teacher's conference yesterday and he read us his books, in the character's voice they were written in. I laughed until I cried. And then I bought this for my 8th grader. And her 4th grader sister swiped it and asked for her own copy. I love it and highly recommend it to anyone!

Wow this really connects to us teens!

I loved loved loved reading hormone jungle. Even if it's written to be for children through the ages of 9-12 or grades 5 through 8 it really connects to the high school students too! I loved reading out of it in poetry club, especially middle school payback and Planning for the future! This is awesome, I'll have to get one for me and my brothers!!!

Brod Bagert has the 'right stuff'!

Hormone Jungle truly embodies the thoughts and feelings of middle schoolers. Having worked with middle school students for over 20 years, I related to the characters Brod creates and their voices expressed in his poetry. I laughed and cried with these characters as they experience middle school life! Brod Bagert has the 'right stuff' for middle school students and teachers in his collection of poems in Hormone Jungle. Sharmen M. Oswald, Library Teacher, NBCT Gilbert Middle School Gilbert, SC
