From the back cover: The Rules of Never: A Middle School Survival Guide  What a special book for the targeted readers and for anyone who loves them or wants to understand them better.Our library hosted 20+ Wisconsin children's book authors and each would answer the questions about ideas and getting started by saying, "Write what you know." Phil Adam knows kids. In his own memories of adolescence and as a parent and especially in his 34 year teaching career he surely lived or witnessed many of the situations in this book. Readers of ANY age will laugh and wince at some of the adventures involving a bully, the perfect girl crush, and the consequences of not being truthful or responsible.Every aspect of this book is so well done. Artwork by Carolyn Paplham perfectly complements the book without being childish. The clever chapter headings (lobster boxer shorts?!?) often correspond with that chapter's final paragraph. Each chapter follows a month of the school year and thankfully, the main character does indeed survive after some of those hard earned lessons. The dialog is witty and believable. I've purchased a total of ten copies and will be sharing them with former library colleagues and with some favorite young people.My only wish for the book is that the author would have thrown a little more love at the English teacher and librarian of Lost Creek Middle School, but I must admit, the adults in this book add to the heartwarming humor in RULES OF NEVER. Highly Recommended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book for Middle School Students *by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2016* This book is realistic of what sixth grade boys experience in their behaviors, thoughts, and emotions. It has a good lesson to be learned as Phil and his friends move on to seventh grade. Phil keeps trying to get out of school responsibilities by telling lies and nothing works for him as it always backfires. As a teacher, I can relate to the actions of sixth grade boys which have happened during my career. Also, my middle school grandson enjoyed the humor and could relate to the happenings, but also figured out that Phil should have been more responsible. I highly recommend this book for all middle school students. Many boys at this age aren't excited about reading and this book would certainly interest them and hold their attention. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent middle school book *by E***Y on Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2021* Phil writes with a keen sense of what life is like for a new 6th grader to middle school. A great read, not just for middle school aged kids, but also adults will find many memories in the book as well --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/58084103-the-rules-of-never-a-middle-school-survival-guide-book](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/58084103-the-rules-of-never-a-middle-school-survival-guide-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-10-12*
