Something Girl

Written by; Beth Goobie

“Stupid, no good, nothing girl.” Ever feel like that? Ever feel like everything you do isn’t good enough or that you aren’t loved? Live a day in the life of Sophie Hawthorne. A 15 year old teenager who feels as though she isn’t good enough to be loved. She goes through the being-late-for-curfew and the usual teenage break ups. But Sophie has to deal with punishments worse then groundings.

Sophie used to babysit a little girl and she called her Jujube. Jujube, now 12, is Sophie’s best friend. They spend nearly every day together and tell each other everything. Jujube is the only one that knows about Sophie’s dad's punishments.

Sophie is on probation for stealing, she has to go and see her probation officer every two weeks to check up on how she is doing. When she goes and visits Ms.Lee her PO, she notices that things are changing with Sophie. She doesn’t make it to school on time or sometimes doesn’t even bother showing up.

Reading this book, I have come to realize that everyone has some sort of problem at home. Some worse then others. I picked this book up and finished it in the same day. I recommend this book to anyone who likes the kind of book that you want to keep turning the pages. The beginning was a shock but the ending wasn't nearly as shocking. But yet, 105 pages doesn’t seem nearly enough.
