Yet another marvelous Sophie Washington story! I love how every book expands on Sophie’s life at school and at home. She’s already participated in a spelling bee and joined the cheerleading squad. Having her expand to Tennis was so great to watch. She’s a fantastic role model for kids everywhere that they don’t have to be just one thing and that it’s all right to get help and even not to be the best all the time. It’s doing and trying that count, not necessarily excelling.
One of my favorite things about this book was the older girls and how Sophie dealt with them. Like many kids do, Sophie gets caught up in wanting to be liked by people she deems as worthy. She slips up and is mean, but she realizes her mistake. By the end, she’s not afraid to do what she believes is right. The more I read about this girl, the more I just like who she is.
This book also introduced Diabetes in a way that kids could learn both by hearing information and seeing the disease in action. As always, Ellis presented information in an interesting and educational way without preaching. I am always blown away at how appropriate these books seem for the target audience. They are the kind of reads I would have gobbled up at that age and that I just think are wonderful as an adult. I look forward to more installments and adventures.
