I just finished Maybe Yes, Maybe No, Maybe Maybe by Newbery Award winning author, Susan Patron (Higher Power of Lucky). Patron specializes in children's books about self discovery: quiet books without much plot but with lots of personality.
"Everything's changing all at once for PK." PK is the middle child with one older sister and one younger sisiter. She's "the jam in the sandwhich." Her older sister, Megan, is almost a teenager and now has hormones that make her impossible. Her younger sister, Rabbit, is overly worried about starting kindergarten. With a super smart older sister and a super cute younger sister, PK feels like nobody. That is, until she finds her special gift in the laundry hamper.
Other books along similar lines include Granny Torrelli Make Soup by Sharon Creech and Because of Winn Dixie by Kate DiCamillo.
