Description

The One in the Middle Is the Green Kangaroo is a children's book published in 1969, written by Judy Blume with illustrations by Amy Aitken. It was Blume's first published work. It is about second-grader Freddy Dissel, a middle child who feels emotionally squashed between his older brother, Mike, and his younger sister, Ellen. He does not seem to get much attention, until he lands a role in a school play as a green kangaroo.

First Sentence

"Freddy Dissel!" Mom yelled.

Description

Fredy used to have a room of his own. That was before Ellen was born. Now Ellen had a room of her own. Freddy moved in with Mike. Mom and Dad said, "It's the boys' room." But they couldn't fool Freddy. He knew better! --back cover
