About This Book
Reach for this book when your middle schooler feels like the plainest person in the room or is struggling with the shadow of high achieving siblings. It is a perfect choice for the child who feels overlooked, invisible, or defined by their family's successes rather than their own unique identity. The story follows Floyd, a self proclaimed wallflower in a family of superstars, who navigates the hilarious and humiliating trials of early adolescence. Through Floyd's journey, the book explores deep themes of self worth, the mask we wear to fit in, and the courage it takes to step into the light. It is a highly relatable, humorous, and ultimately validating read for any child ages 10 to 14 who is trying to find their voice in a noisy world. Parents will appreciate how it uses humor to tackle the very real pains of social anxiety and sibling rivalry.
