For a third-grader, Sophie Simon is one smart cookie. She enjoys teaching herself advanced calculus and has performed successful heart surgery on an earthworm. She's also very clever when it comes to dealing with her clueless parents. But, Sophie is no genius when it comes to calculating the high value of friendship, until, that is, she has to use her incredible IQ to help out some classmates with their own parental troubles.
"Sophisticated touches in the vocabulary…make the book particularly suited to young Sophie-type overachievers looking for a quick read, but kids of all stripes will recognize the frustration of dealing with parents who think you're someone you're not and admire the quick shuffle that gets all the beleaguered youngsters what they want."

"This reading romp has plenty of kid appeal."
Kirkus Reviews
"Lively and humorous…The reading level is perfect for those who have already transitioned to easy chapter books but want a higher vocabulary and plot complexity."
