If you spend time outdoors or have pets that go outdoors, you need to beware of ticks. Ticks are small bloodsucking parasites. Many species transmit diseases to animals and people. Some of the diseases you can get from a tick bite are Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever and tularemia. Some ticks are so small that they can be difficult to see. Ticks may get on you if you walk through areas where they live, such as tall grass, leaf litter or shrubs.

If you were a middle-schooler today, you almost certainly would read Wonder by R.J. Palacio, a tear-jerker of a book about a ten-year-old boy born with severe facial differences starting his first year of public school, in your English class. Wonder is a veritable middle-grade fiction phenomenon, right up there with Harry Potter.
