I really like Sophie The Awesome because the author really expresses the characters, and gives me a picture in my mind. In the book, Sophie Miller is reading, and in all of these books, she finds everyone has an excellent name.
Nate the Great. Harriet the Spy. Ramona the Brave. Winnie the Pooh, Sophie thinks its about time she has a name like that!
I really like Sophie's character because she can change her emotions so quick. She reminds me of my sister, because when she wants something she does N...more

This is the first book in the Sophie series by Lara Bergen and Laura Tallardy. We discovered this series at our local library and our oldest was excited to find another series featuring third graders. The story is entertaining and Sophie seems to be an older version of Junie B. Jones or Ramona.
Sophie decides that she wants to be 'Awesome' in this story and tries to find a way to make that come true. She's impulsive and doesn't always make the right choices, but she's basically a good kid and me...more

When her friend Kate says that Sophie needs something to be awesome at, Sophie starts trying to outdo other kids. Unfortunately, these attempts land in her trouble, such as when she tries to jump more stares than a former friend and loses hall privileges for her entire class.

Sophie the awesome is about a girl who wanted a perfect name (such as Nate the great, Ramona the brave, Harriet the spy.) So she thought of Sophie the awesome, but if she was named after awesome, she had to show it. First she jumped down the stairs that did not prove anything. Then she carried four trays down the middle way that did not prove anything. Next she put as many fries as she could in her mouth that did not prove anything. Finally she tried to beat the school record for jumping roping...more
It was about a girl who wanted to have a nickname and she tried to be an awesome girl. But instead she became a hero. She saved a little girl's life. The little girl was carrying Slinkys and she dropped them all. The little girl ran after them, but Sophie stopped her. A neighbor picked up the Slinkys from the road.
Sophie tried too hard to be awesome and she got less awesome and more boring. She accidentally told her frenemy the nickname came up with but it was supposed to be a secret.

Sophie is an average third grader trying to prove she is not just average. Through a series of five complications, Sophie fails to prove she is awesome. The major crisis comes when Sophie calls herself awesome and then expects to be ridiculed by her whole class. In the end, Sophie saves a younger child from being hit by a car.

Took us a while to care enough to finish this book, but it's cute. I knew it was a keeper when I saw Sarah sitting around the house reading it!! Also caught her staying up reading at night. Learned from the best of 'em. hee hee I can't believe she's old enough for that. At least she hasn't learned yet to hide under the covers and read with a flashlight. Mom, did you know I did that and then pretended to sleep when you came to check on me??? ;0 I bet you did.
Sophie, a third grader, doesn't feel special enough so she renames herself "Sophie the Awesome." Unfortunately, her best friend Kate points out that with a name like that she really has to BE awesome. Sophie spends the rest of the day trying to show everyone how awesome she is, and of course every plan backfires. Transitional reader.
Sophie is a well developed character third graders and younger will love. She feels ordinary, nothing-special, boring and decides to rename herself. She thinks "Sophie the Awesome" will make it so. She realizes that you have to back up the name with deeds and has some funny excapdes trying to become awesome.

very cute and spunky for early reader girls. Sophie is fun without being bratty :)
Cute! 2nd-3rd grade
This is the start of a great series. If you like Ramona and Junie B. Jones, you are sure to love the antics of Sophie!
