My review
After School at Middletown Middle is a collection of eleven stories revolving in and around a mysterious public school. Middletown Middle school is an infamous school which carries a long tradition. It is established way back in 1886. Over the years, the school sustained its prestigious academic quality but grew mysterious decade after decade. This is a virtual tour to this paranoramal public school.
What makes everyone attracted to the history of this school is curiosity. Middletown Middle is not a magical school. It is a normal one. But it has some special features that others don’t have. It is bound by some strange rules. It has many strange stories to tell. The strangeness of this school is partially due to its location and partially due to the students and employees in the school. Everyone gets connected with this school and sooner or later they never want to leave this place ever.
Each story is a virtual tour to the history. They deal with racism, segregation, bullying etc. Many of them are not just a simple story to read but has a powerful message to convey. The stories glide through recklessness of the middle-graders but they also highlight the sincerety and purity of their mind as well.
Overall this is a great read for every child, easily impacting their imagination and creativity.
