Try reading a high quality book with your middle school child. Try Bryce Courtenay’s The Power of One. Bruce Coffey explains here.

“Sharing a book with your middle school child is a way to share a cultural experience – something that will entertain and stimulate both of you. It does not specifically partake of your world or theirs. Good literature operates in a nether world – in between – where it is safe for both of you to be surprised, engaged, enthralled, curious, provoked, unsure. That is what literature is for – and we all know it can be harder to find or locate that space – or even that time – w/ your adolescent child.”
