I am Arden - as the oldest child in my family, I have to deal with my two younger brothers (who can be annoying!) and the constant nagging of my parents (they call it encouragement!), as I navigate the challenges of middle school - I am too old to be spoiled, but too young to be independent. This puts me in a tough spot. From dealing with my unusual name to trying to outwit my Mom by using the microwave to melt my ice cream just right, to currying favor with the school's Principal, and to starting a dog walking business with my best friend, Ron, I am going through life trying to fully experience everything. But will I be able to deal with it all? Read my story, but be prepared for a wild ride...
