The One in the Middle Is the Green Kangaroo by Judy Blume
3.0
This early chapter book tells the story of a young boy who feels invisible at home as the middle child, but has a chance to shine when he takes part in a school play. It's really cute and sweet, and it also made me think of the time that my younger brother played a skunk in a children's church play. Good times. The costume someone made for him was phenomenal, and he got to wear it for Halloween that year.
Once again, I can see why people like Judy Blume's writing. The story rings true to a child's perspective and everyday experience, and there isn't a single wasted word in this incredibly short story. It's perfect for beginning readers, and has enough relatable appeal to be fun for older kids and adults as well.
