Something Girl

I also liked the good detail of the father when he got mad. I dislike how the father beat Sophie and her mother. I recommend this book for people that can relate to the situation or people that like serious type of books. Aug 31, Danalky rated it it was amazing. The book "Something Girl" by Beth Goobie was an amazing book. This book was about a girl named Sophie.

In the past Sophie had stolen lipstick,chocolate bars and cigarettes. That caused her to be on probation. She has to meet with her probation officer "Ms. Lee" every two weeks. Her father beats her constantly and bruises her. Her 12 year old friend "Jujubee" believes that Sophie should tell the truth about how she really gets her bruises, but Sophie is too afraid of her father. So that means that someone else has to tell for her.

Will they do anything about this or just let her live with her father and allow the beatings? I think the author taught me that these types of things happen in our everyday lives. I would recommend this book because this book tells you about what you need to take risks in order to goon in life. I would recommend this book to anyone i feel this book will entertain anyone.

Apr 21, Louisapenka rated it really liked it Recommends it for: Something Girl was a good book! It's about a girl named Sophie and right at the beginning of the book, her boyfriend Larry breaks up with her, so she's upset about that, but trys to forget about it.

Her dad comes of as a good dad, but when it's just Sophie and him, she's always getting hit or something. She thinks she's nothing and not good, since that's what her dad tells her all the time. Her bestfriend is Jujubi and younger than her. This is one of her only friends. Will she tell someone ab Something Girl was a good book! Will she tell someone about her abusive father, or no?
