Book Overview
Tt's not easy being a nine-year-old kid in the middle of a busy, gifted family. Especially when the list of things you're good at includes only two items--"Crying" and "Stopping crying"--and the list of things you're not good at seems to be getting longer every day. When Sophie's mom suggests that she's good at being kind and just needs a little more practice, Sophie feels hopeful. But being kind to a grouchy old lady or her big sister, Nora, or the weird new girl at school isn't as easy as it sounds. If only Sophie were a queen, she could practice being kind to commoners instead. It would be much more dignified and elegant. And she would finally get to wear her very own diamond tiara. . . . From the author of the popular Owen Foote books, here is a funny, observant novel about an irrepressible girl, as quirky and original in her own way as Owen is in his, in search of her own special talent.

THIS BOOK IS A WINNER! SOPHIE IS MY KIND OF GIRL!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I can not believe that no one has reviewed this book yet! It is THAT good. I love it. The plot is one with which kids can relate, and Sophie is so kind-hearted as she struggles with problems that many of us faced in our youth. ... She's wonderful. Of course, the reader will feel for Sophie and her various problems, but I marvel at the way she handles things when she is so kind to people and then they don't reciprocate. I rooted for her all the way and almost stood up and cheered when she finally learns to stand up for herself. This author is certainly talented; she handles Sophie's large family interaction with credibility ... and the heroine's problems at school, too. What a good, intelligent writer! A great read! Highly recommended. Betty Dravis, March 6, 2006
