Publisher Description
Meet Sophie, a little girl with a big goal: to find the perfect title for herself. Look out --- here's Sophie the Awesome!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?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bergen (who has contributed to the Candy Apple series) launches a series about a tenacious third grader, Sophie, who settles on a nickname that she thinks describes her perfectly. Yet she quickly realizes that others aren t likely to call her Sophie the Awesome, unless she had proof of her awesomeness to back it up. As might be expected, Sophie s attempts at impressing her teachers and classmates don t go well. She is chastised for making a racket on the cymbals when she tries to stand out in music class, lands on her bottom and in the nurse s office after attempting to jump down six steps at once, and is reprimanded by the principal for trying to stuff a record number of fries in her mouth at lunch. 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. Ages 7 10.
