About this ebook

Eleven-year-old Sophie Turner attends an all-girls private school in Manhattan. When Sophie’s family falls apart and her best friend rejects her for a faster crowd, Sophie’s only source of comfort is the distant voice of her school-assigned pen pal, Katie.

Eleven-year-old Katie Franklin lives in California. She is thrilled to be spearheading a charity project with her best friend, Jake—but when Jake starts paying attention to another girl, a jealous and misunderstood Katie is left with one friend she can confide in—her pen pal, Sophie.

This realistic, gentle novel is a testament to the enduring power of friendship—even from miles away.

Ratings and reviews

I loved it! I read it in that store for books. I would love to get it! It shows you two different lifestyles, and it is a very common life. It shows basiclly how to go through loosing a friend, getting through your parents divorce, making a new friend, and in this book Katie was making a cause to help (in this book, a earthquake in Mexico) a girl in Mexico with no family, so Katie hostes a jog-a-thon to help raise money. So it shows you to help other people that you may read about, live with, or even be friends with! I loved this book. would totally get it for a present!

It's an amazing story about two girls who are pen-pals living on opposite ends of contintental America, the lives they lead and the challenges they face. Towards the end of the book they get to meet each other.

a good book about lots of things(obstacles/trials) that young girls so through
