Sophie the Awesome
Illustrated By Laura Tallardy
About this book
Sophie Miller's life is boring. Average. Blah. She's not the oldest or the youngest, the tallest or the shortest. She's not even the only Sophie in her third-grade class!Sophie knows she's special. And she's come up with the perfect name to show it: Sophie the Awesome! But living up to her new name won't be easy --- especially if super-annoying Toby Myers has anything to say about it.
Can Sophie prove her awesomeness . . . and prove everyone wrong?
Reviews
Praise for Sophie the Awesome:"Sophie's run-ins with her nemeses – the rambunctious class cutup and an uppity know-it-all – provide snatches of humor, and she finally earns a nickname (if not the one she had envisioned) in an unexpected, action-filled ending. Tallardy's (The Girl's Body Book) cartoony illustrations help play up the relatable emotions at work in this straightforward tale."
--Publishers Weekly
"This is a fun, easy-to-read book. In a light-hearted way, it deals with school life, friendships, and trying to stand out. Comic-like and age-appropriate illustrations are interspersed throughout the story. The first in a series, this book is ideal for the fun-loving extrovert girl in your family who may also be a reluctant reader."
--Library of Clean Reads
"A tale of confidence every little sister needs to hear once in a while."
