If that's not heroic, what is?But being a hero might be tougher than this third-grader expected. She's supposed to save the day --- not cause more trouble! Could Sophie's latest name be a heroic flop? 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."--Justine Magazine Lara Bergen has written more than 100 books for kids, including the Candy Apple titles DRAMA QUEEN, I'VE GOT A SECRET, and SEE YOU SOON, SAMANTHA.
