It is truly a fun read with a good message: that it is ok to push boundaries and do things one would not normally do. This book is an easy read and is suitable for preteens and teens. -- Resource Links
The biggest thing about this story that I liked was the message it held. Sophie's summer of different taught and reminded her ... that it's ok to fail. It's ok to look like a fool. It's ok to try new things that may scare you. It's ok to let go of absolute control from time to time ... I would recommend this read to others. -- RhaneBow Reads blog --This text refers to an alternate kindleedition edition. BOOK DESCRIPTION
