Great for 11-13-year-old girls

My daughter loves these books and has read nearly the entire series now. She easily relates to the heroine. She also has learned a lot from the situations Sophie finds herself in.

Sophie's Irish Showdown

Sophie LaCroix is sure she and the Corn Flakes can shine in the school's talent show. However, when they are forbidden to use one of their films, they aren't sure what to do, until a new girl from Ireland, Darbie, moves into their group. She doesn't seem to like anyone, and Sophie can't figure out why- until her rough past comes to light. Sophie decides to write a play based on Darbie's life. Darbie loves it, but Fiona's jealous and seems out to ruin the play. Sophie thinks just like a regular girl, and her conflits are real. The writing is above par, and when the book concludes, there is the possibility of an unexpected new friend for Sophie. Keep up the good work, Nancy Rue!
