The Beach Dilemma: The Beach Dilemma by Marta Kissi, Laura Wiltse Prior

5.0

Emma Bemma is stuck in a dilemma. The middle child between her two brothers. Her younger brother is little, her older brother is big and she is "just" medium. Emma feels out of place as she is always stuck in the middle of everything. She is too little to do things "big" does and too old to get away with things that "little" does. It's frustrating and confusing.
Emma and her family set out on a family beach vacation where Emma comes up with a plan. She does not want to be "just" medium anymore. Emma decides to take on a new role. Will her changes wreak havoc or will the role she takes on be her best decision yet?

My Review:

A wonderful story about being the middle child. This book showcases the true feelings of some middle children and allows readers to understand and fall in step with the story.
Emma falls into some habits that are not necessarily good for her age by copying "little." She tries to copy "big" and realizes she is still too young to do some of those things. The author did a great job will real-life scenarios making the story relatable.
In the end, Emma finds out she is perfect just the way she is, and it's best just to be herself and not try to copy others.
