Sophie's sister is born, but with Down Syndrome. Sophie is scared and angry. And when a new girl at school enters one of Sophie's classes and has a disability like that as well, Sophie sees just what things might be like someday for her little sister. And she doesn't like what she sees, not at all! Is there some way Sophie can use her filming skills to make sense of all this? | Extra Notes: | This book definitely addresses the "Why does God let bad things happen" question. More importantly, it's a lesson in trusting God even when everything seems to go wrong. This is the last book in the Sophie series. The wrap up is a little strange, almost implying that Sophie will not daydream or make films any more, as if her whole identity has changed in a page. The rest of the story is excellent and challenging though. | Reviewer: | J:-)mi | Recommendation Scale: | 5 |
