The squirrel idea sounds fun. It reminds me of Jo Ann Beard's short essay "The Forth State of Matter." Wonderful piece!
I don't know what advice I could give you, really, but I think a children's story would be fun. I've never written specifically for middle and early high schoolers... that would be fun, and maybe a bit challenging to find an appropriate voice? (One not too childish, one not too scholarly.)
Either way, inspiration will come when you least expect it. Happy writing!!
Just sit down and start writing - whatever happens will happen and go from there. You're bound to have good stuff and bad stuff, but the bad stuff will just teach you where you need to improve.
Squirrels are always fun though.
