Editorial Review:
Who is Jane Moffat, anyway? She isn't the youngest in the family, and she isn't the oldest-she is always just Jane. How boring. So Jane decides to become a figure of mystery ... the mysterious "Middle Moffat." But being in the middle is a lot harder than it looks.
In between not rescuing stray dogs, and losing and finding best friends, Jane must secretly look after the oldest inhabitant of Cranbury...so he can live to be one hundred. Between brushing her hair from her eyes and holding up her stockings, she has to help the girls' basketball team win the championship. And it falls to Jane-the only person in town with enough courage-to stand up to the frightful mechanical wizard, Wallie Bangs.
Jane is so busy keeping Cranbury in order that she barely has time to be plain old Jane. Sometimes the middle is the most exciting place of all....
Eleanor Estes's beloved Moffats stories are being published in new editions as Odyssey/Harcourt Young Classics. The original interior illustrations have been retained, but handsome new cover art by Tricia Tusa gives the books a fresh, timeless appeal for today's readers.

Rating: - Janey the middle moffat
The mysterious middle moffat is not mysterious. That's the fun it and the humor. The middle moffat is even better than the first book! The sequil! how rare is that? The middle moffat is an excellent book for everyone of all ages. Janie is just too much fun, she is the most excellent of all the moffats.
Rating:  - It was all there
I'm only rating it four stars, but I really did enjoy it. Jane, the "middle moffat" is trying to do everything. She makes friends with a 99 year old neighbor, while at the same time trying to do everything to help him live to a 100. She helps her little brother Rufus at Christmas. While everyone's asleep, she climbs downstairs...
Anyway, I really liked this book, and I think kid's UNDER nine would enjoy it too.
Rating: - Middle Moffat Not So Mysterious
Okay, you know your average family, right? Well The Moffat's are anything but ordinary! I mean sure they have two sisters, two brothers, and a widowed mom. But do normal families have 10 year olds who are friends with 99 year olds? I think not, besides the fact of being a little weird, The Middle Moffat is a perfectly written book. The Middle Moffat is an excellent book by Eleanor Estes. Wonderful, adorable art for kids, that you will enjoy, drawn by Louis Slobodkin, The Middle Moffat is 234 pages ... Read More
Rating: - Very funny
I read this book to my three boys ages 9,6 and 3 and they could not stop laughing. Jane's imagination and simple ways of viewing life around her really capture what it is like to be a kid. We had to stop several times so that they could act out certain parts. I think Jane is a friend that we all would like to have. She's beyond nice and there is never a dull moment when she is around (whether it's in her mind or really happening). Now that we have read the book we really miss Jane.
