Fifteen-year-old Skye is a middle child, wishing she had a life that didn’t include daily harassment from the in-crowd at Highland Creek High School. Thanks to fellow band geek and best friend Goose, Skye survives freshman year—just barely. But now in their sophomore year, Goose has ditched her for a new crowd. Skye is alone, wishing she had that touch of extraordinary that everyone else has. Everyone except her. Skye would do almost anything to cast off her ordinary life, but at what price? When her older sister Sarah Elizabeth goes missing, Skye gets her wish—but it’s not exactly what she had in mind. After questioning Bryan, the senior-class renegade and the last person seen with her sister, Skye finds something she never quite expected. Girl in the Middle is an emotional look at what happens when a family is faced with a huge crisis, leaving the middle child with a new, unwelcomed role.
