Thank you so much for all of the responses! They are all very helpful and
hopefully by the end of today I will have ordered magazines for my library.
Original Post:
My middle school library (grades 6-8) does not currently have magazines. I plan to
order a few in the next week. Is there a good poetry magazine for middle school
kids?
I am planning to get National Geographic Kids, Sports Illustrated Kids, and Kids
Discover. Are there any others you would suggest? I want to only introduce a few
magazines into the library but to provide for as many different interests as
possible.

We have been ordering Teen Ink for a couple of years. It is written by
adolescents--the kids love it.

Kids Discover, Zoobooks, Girls Life, Boy's Life, Odyssey, Cobblestone, Faces, J-14,
Dirtwheels, BMX Plus, Justine were all titles that I had at my middle school which
was a 5-8 building. Since we closed the building in June, most of the titles were
transferred to our elementary. J-14, Justine and Girl's Life were moved to high
school.

I am in a junior high library and love the magazines Faces, Odyssey, Cobblestones,
and Upfront.

Our girls love Pop Star and Bop. We also get Popular Science and Popular
Mechanics, and Dog and Cat Fancy.

Definitely take a look at Justine!
