The Middle Kid
The Middle Kid is my first novel written specifically with young adult readers in mind. It is the story of Alex, a London schoolgirl, and her struggle to be noticeable.
With an older brother who is set for Olympic glory in the swimming pool and a younger brother who has emerged as a Latin genius, Alex is the middle child and apt to be ignored by her busy parents. When she creates the cartoon character Dexter the Roman, Diana the legendary art teacher at her school is impressed and invites Alex to show her work at her weekly cultural soirees. With Diana's encouragement, Alex makes Dexter and his dog Canis Major the heroes of an illustrated children’s book. Introduced to a literary agent willing to champion the book, Alex looks certain at last to achieve her dream of being noticed.
