Bookroo's summary

Beginning, Middle, and End clash over who matters most in storytelling. As their argument wakes End, he vanishes, leaving the story incomplete. Beginning and Middle must find End, realizing their interdependence. Can they reunite to complete the tale, or will their story remain unfinished? Discover the power of collaboration in this whimsical journey.

From the publisher

Meet Beginning, Middle and End–they are trying to work out who is the most important! Beginning loves starting stories, but Middle thinks the middle is the most interesting and where the good stuff happens. Middle doesn’t want Beginning to always come first. A fight ensues–and they wake up End, who disappears as he doesn’t like the arguing. But a book can’t exist without the end, so Beginning and Middle set out to find End–and they come to realize how much they need each other–and how you can get the best out of everyone when you work together.
