Bookroo's summary

In a lively monster family, Bub struggles to be noticed. Overshadowed by his talented sister and the demanding baby, Bub feels invisible. But when he takes matters into his own hands, magic unfolds, leaving his family guessing. Can Bub find his place and discover the perks of being the middle child?

From the publisher

A little monster, caught in the middle of a boisterous monster family, tries to find a way to be seen in this whimsically sweet and quirky picture book from the author of Henny and Peddles. For Bub, it’s not easy being the middle child in his little monster family–especially such a noisy and busy one: Maw and Paw can be very loud, his big sister Bernice is good at everything, and everyone has to pay attention to The Baby. No one has time for Bub. But the day comes when Bub decides to take charge, and suddenly things change in a very magical little monster way! What happens next keeps his family guessing, until Bub sees that it might not be so bad being in the middle, after all.
