Read what educators are saying about Star in the Middle…
"Teens will identify with the main characters and many will understand and identify with the choices, dilemmas and life-altering decisions made by the characters. Mrs. Millward's presentation is realistic and non-judgmental. Star in the Middle will be a book club selection at our school. It is sure to evoke lively discussions and reactions amongst its teen audience." -Susan Boone, Queen Anne's County High School, Centreville, MD
"Provoking animated discussion, Star in the Middle has proven to be a popular read for teens of both genders. From the surprisingly strong male role of Todd to the supportive adult role of Wilson's mother, Carol Larese Millward does an excellent job of portraying characters faced with difficult, real-life decisions. This book continues to be a student favorite."
-Jennifer S. Kukula, school librarian, Bel Air High School
"Star in the Middle engages the reader immediately and leaves you begging for more. A national scenario that crosses ethnic and economic lines. Millward does a superb job blending humor, anger, and suspense as the story unfolds. A real-life lesson about teen pregnancy and the trials and tribulations associated with it. The plethora of characters and unusual twists find their place as the story comes to a close. The ending leaves the reader with much to reflect on. This book far exceeded my expectations!!!"
-Ken Harvey, Pupil Personnel Worker, Cecil County Public Schools
"I liked that Wil finally accepted his son as his and took responsibility for him.
I liked that Star's character was strong and a little stubborn. She will be a great Mom.
--Carol Carlisle, Biology Teacher, Bishop Carroll High School
