5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Books, April 26, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Sophie's Secret (Book 2) (Paperback)

Sophie LaCroix's life seems to be going fine. She has her two best friends, Fiona and Kitty, to make films with and she's making better grades.

However, Sophie feels like her father is putting too much pressure on her to act like her big sister, Lacie, and when she makes a discovery in the attic, she's certain she's adopted. Will Sophie ever be able to trust her parents again?

Sophie's family tension is something everyone can relate to, now matter what their postion in the family is. The writing is vivid and descriptive, the plot is unpredictable and easy to follow, and there is a clear message about God without being preachy.

Nancy Rue is an awesome writer!

I downloaded this book for my Kindle when there was a free promotion, and didn't have any expectations. When I started it, I was thinking, "I'm not the target audience for this", but I kept going, and I was rooting for Sophie by the end. It's an entertaining story, and I enjoyed it.

This review is from: Sophie's Secret (Faithgirlz!) (Kindle Edition)

I enjoyed the first book of this series a lot, and was excited to read the second one. However, I think this book isn't as good as the first. Sophie still has problems, and is trying to work her way through that tough age between childhood and adulthood. Her father still doesn't understand her. It is their relationship that interests me the most in Nancy Rue's books about Sophie. And we, the readers, finally find out the reason why her father is so hard on her.

It may be because I'm so far past the age group this book is aimed at, but I felt the answer was too easy. That relationships between father and daughter can be complicated just because they are two different people. I didn't need a cause as much as a resolution to try to understand each other.

I would still recommend this book. Nancy Rue creates great characters and gives them real problems.
