Can Freddy leap past his middle-child malaise? This classic story from Judy Blume has a fresh new look!
Freddy Dissel has two problems. One is his older brother, Mike. The other is his younger sister, Ellen. That leaves Freddy in the middle, feeling like the peanut butter part of a sandwich, squeezed between two pieces of bread like a great big middle nothing.
So when Freddy hears about the school play, he knows it's his chance to shine--even if the play is being put on by the big kids, and even if Mike says that everybody can jump. But nobody can jump quite as well as Freddy, which makes him the perfect Green Kangaroo--and the star of the show!

This story is so cute - especially if you’re the middle child in your family. Finding something that’s just yours can give you a sense of identity, a sense of purpose. Although I’m an adult now, I’ve loved Judy Blume books since I was a child and they really hold up to the test of time.
I love this book! It is great for all ages, but my 7 year old son was able to read it easily and enjoyed it.
My daughter had to purchase 'The One in the Middle Is the Green Kangaroo' for a summer reading assignment, and I just have to mention how impressed we were with the quick shipping! The book arrived well before the due date, which was a huge relief. It was in great condition and ready for her to dive into her summer reading. Highly recommend for anyone needing fast delivery on books!
This is a great book for high readers in first grade who are ready to start chapter books and also for low second graders. Both boys and girls like it.
Judy Blume is the best…my seven year old grandson loved the book and read it in a day!
