A parent should reach for this book when their child expresses feeling invisible or lost in the shuffle of sibling dynamics and shared custody. The story follows Hannah, a middle child who feels like a 'plain bagel' compared to her flashy older sister and pampered younger sister. As she navigates living between her mother's and father's homes, she struggles to find a sense of belonging and a unique identity that isn't defined by her sisters or her parents' divorce. It is a comforting, realistic, and often funny look at the internal life of a pre-teen who just wants to be noticed for being herself. This book is perfect for 9 to 12 year olds who are dealing with the logistical and emotional complexities of a split family. It offers a gentle reassurance that it is okay to advocate for your own needs and that finding your voice is a process. Parents will appreciate the way it validates a child's frustration without being overly cynical or dark.
