Sophie is not only the main character, but the name of my daughter. We loved this book. Although Sophie's background is somewhat troubling, I rated the social stuff as good stuff because of the way its handled. My Sophie is 9 and a very stong reader. Wait a few more years for kids that aren't strong readers as the format could be confusing. Neither Sophie nor I found it to be a problem and enjoyed having Cody reveal things that Sophie didn't.

I love this book because its very instering and you can't put it down once you start reading it.It's sorta easy to understand 'cause the chapters are very short.If you like a good sea book,than you should read this one.
