Elmwood, Illinois. 1948. June Le Masters is always in the middle of everything! 11 years old and in the middle of 11 kids, living in the middle of Illinois, in the middle of the United States. Even her name June, is the middle month of the year. Everything about her screams, "I am the middle kid."

Except June, she never screams. She doesn't speak up enough. She always lets others go first, and always says, "I'm sorry." She says sorry for things that aren't even her fault. She just wants everything to be nice and happy. She tries to be a good girl but because of her brother Bob, she is now in the middle of all his trouble with the FBI.

Bob struggles with everything. The way he stutters, the way he plays with others, the way he behaves at home. He is not like the other kids.

Now, girls aren't supposed to tattle or speak up. Those are the rules.

This is especially hard when you have a brother who has a hard time in school. She has to watch out for Bob, and because of that, June must learn to speak up. Because of that, June needs to break the rules.
