Middle School Revealed
By Joe Miller
"Space Station Seventh Grade" tells the story of one boy named Jason Herkimer in his seventh grade year. Truthfully, Jason could be any boy or girl of that age. This is an honest look at what seventh graders experience and go through, and although some references are a bit outdated (the book was printed in the early 80s), the basic concepts remain unchanged. Readers of the same age as the main character will ultimately sympathize with him, while older readers will find themselves laughing and shaking their heads as they read about incidents they very well could have been involved in back in the "good old days". This is good stuff. Among other adventures, Jason fights pimples, finds himself lost in the local ghetto at Christmastime, and accidentally injures his hopeless crush during a wild snowball fight- an incident that will certainly make everyone cringe and chuckle at the same time. There is good moral value as well- throughout the course of his year, Jason grows mentally and emotionally and finds himself re-evaluating the way he looks at the world, especially after a tragedy occurs. For a truthful look at the world of seventh grade boys, and girls as well- come on, what kind of story about middle school guys doesn't have chicks as well?- look no further than this book. Jerry Spinelli comes through again with "Space Station Seventh Grade", which will delight readers of all ages.

Spinelli's First
By M. Keogh
Written over 20 years ago, "Space Station Seventh Grade" was author Jerry Spinelli's first published book. Oddly, he had not originally envisioned it as being written for juveniles, but instead submitted it to publishers as being written for adults. (The remnants of its adult's oriented writing can still be seen by the rather harsh language used throughout the book). It was rejected by all adult publishers, however, almost by chance juvenile publishers embraced it. Thus started the career of one finest authors of children's/young adult fiction.
"Space Station Seventh Grade" follows the first year of middle school for Jason Herkimer- a suburban Pennsylvanian everykid. The book follows Jason from the sad end of summer to the terrors of middle school where 9th grade monsters prey upon 7th graders, where one has to take a shower after gym, where Home Economics is a subject, and where his teenage hormones start to wreak havoc upon him- creating pimples, making him act up and become a discipline problem, and making him go ga-ga for cheerleader Debbie Breen.
We are also introduced to Jason's homelife- he lives with his mother, his stepfather- Ham (who lives up to his name), his younger sister Mary, whom he can't stand, and his annoying young half-brother, Timmy. Meanwhile, his father lives alone in a big city where he indulges in his passion for kosher food. Jason also has an ecletic group of friends- fellow WASP Richie, Korean American Peter, African American Calvin, and Irish American Dugan. Jason is also an avid, but not particularly gifted athlete, and his interests revolve around dinosaurs and space travel which has led him to build a giant model space station.
"Space Station Seventh Grade" contains many themes that have popped up again and again in Spinelli's other books- a love of athletics, interest in space, sibling antagonism, snow days, unrequited crushes, and the importance of individuality represented here by the character of Marceline McAllister.
Overall, "Space Station Seventh Grade" is an entertaining depiction of middle school life. It's told with Spinelli's trademark humor which is one of the big reasons he has became such a success, and this book has some very funny parts. However, it does contain a shocking "Bridge to Terabithia" moment with a supporting character meeting a tragic death. It's aged fairly well- granted kids today may not know what a pocket football game looks like, but Spinelli wisely avoided references to pop culture which would have immediately dated his book.
However, if there is one criticism I have with Spinelli's portrayal of seventh grade is that he doesn't really touch upon the overwhelming peer pressure to conform and bullying that results when one doesn't that exists at that age. When I look back on my school days, I now like to remember grade school as a halcyon time and high school as a lot of laughs, but I do not have any rose-colored views of my middle school years which I remember as just a horror show of kids viciously picking on each other over the stupidiest stuff! Although Marceline is something of an outcast for her individualism, Jason seems remarkably untouched by any pressure to dress or act a certain way which is not how I remember middle school.

a great book for kids!
By Michael, 8th grader from Virginia
"Space Station Seventh Grade" is a really cool book. I'm finishing 8th grade (junior highs in our county are from grades 6 through 8) and this book is really great story about how junior high really is.
I remember leaving elementary school and starting junior high for the 1st time and wish I had read "Space Station Seventh Grade" before hand. Reading this book, kids realize junior high is a huge, huge change and it is 100 percent OK to be nervous and confused for the first week or so. New junior higher's need to be reassured that they will find all our classes, we'll remember their locker combinations and that we all will eventually get over the initial shock of having to take a shower after gym.
The chapter in the beginning of the book on Jason's first day of gym was all to real to me! Like Jason, our school requires showers. Also just like Jason's school, our boy locker room just has one huge communal shower room. "Space Station Seventh Grade" handles this topic very well. Like Jason and his classmates, I and most of the boys in my class were quite uncomfortable with the idea of showering in public at school. Most new sixth graders in my school are like Jason in the book, in that we were shocked when we found out we had to shower together in junior high! But as my Gym teacher Coach Mannering told our class on the first day, showering is a part of hygiene. And hygeine is part of physical education. And he says the school system policy is there is no better time to teach it than in real situations, such as at the end of school PE class.
It is awkward to have to shower in front of everyone, but you do get use to it. You have to understand that almost all the boys feel the exact same as you, and you have nothing to worry about. After a few weeks, most students who did not like the idea of taking a shower after class usually convert to liking a shower and even demanding a shower after class.
"Space Station Seventh Grade" really teaches us about junior high and junior high helps teach us about life. I think elementary schools should have all kids read this book prior to entering junior high.
