Real-world adventures to help middle schoolers unlock their confidence, creativity, and purpose.

"Buy this book for every middle schooler, or about-to-be middle schooler you know. It just might provide the spark that turns what can be difficult years into years of awesome adventure and growth." - Peter Gray, author of Free to Learn

Middle schoolers may be the most under-rated age group on the planet. These "get through it years" are actually one of the greatest cognitive leaps of our lifetime. Middle schoolers need more than schoolwork to tap this potential - they need real-life challenges worthy of their growing skills.

Challenge Accepted delivers 50 bold, creative, confidence-boosting adventures designed to help tweens discover what they're capable of. Some are playful. Some are brave. All are unforgettable. Your middle schooler might:

Start their own microbusiness
âââââââBuild a book safe
Interview someone wildly different from them
âââââââBecome a citizen scientist and contribute to real-world research
Create a time capsule that blows their future mind
And 45 more real-world quests

Created by educator and youth development expert Chris Balme and brought to life by comic artist Rye Hickman, this is the ultimate guide to turning the middle school years into a daring, purpose-filled adventure.

Perfect for ages 10-14, homeschoolers, teachers, youth groups, or any young person ready to take on the world.
