Are you starting middle school next year? Are you in middle school right now? Well, have we got the book, the author – and the hamster – for you! How To Survive Middle School (Delacorte, $15.99) 
—with a special visit from Hammy the Hamster. In the book, 11-year-old David Greenberg dreams of becoming a TV superstar like his idol, Jon Stewart. But in real life, David is just another kid terrified of starting his first year at Harman Middle School. With a wacky sense of humor and hilarious Top 6½ Lists, David spends his free time making Talk Time videos, which he posts on YouTube. And when his new friend Sophie, who just (gulp) happens to be a girl, starts sending out the links, David might just become and Internet superstar. 3pm
