Especially when the list of things you’re good at includes only two items—“Crying” and “Stopping crying”—and the list of things you’re not good at seems to be getting longer every day. \u003cbr\u003e   When Sophie’s mom suggests that she’s good at being kind and just needs a little more practice, Sophie feels hopeful. But being kind to a grouchy old lady or her big sister, Nora, or the weird new girl at school isn’t as easy as it sounds. If only Sophie were a queen, she could practice being kind to commoners instead. It would be much more dignified and elegant. And she would finally get to wear her very own diamond tiara. . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the author of the popular Owen Foote books, here is a funny, observant novel about an irrepressible girl, as quirky and original in her own way as Owen is in his, in search of her own special talent. | \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Greene conveys Sophie's emotions and thoughts with ruthless candor and the dynamics of her large family with humor and clarity.\"  —\u003ci\u003eBooklist,\u003c\/i\u003e ALA  \"Delightfully messy family dynamic and tightly composed subplots...here's hoping there is more of Queen Sophie to come.\"  —\u003ci\u003eBulletin of the Center for Children's Books\u003c\/i\u003e  \"[A] humorous voyage to self-discovery...simple plot, droll dialogue and strong characters...Sophie's world...feels wonderfully like Ramona Quimby's.\"  —\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e  \"Sophie is likeable and resilient, and readers will identify with her as she works through her school and family situations.\"  —\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e  \"Greene's narrative shines in its depiction of the heartwarming, entirely realistic Hartley family dynamics.\"  —\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e  \"Greene's...humor and understanding of...family dynamics are as impressive here as in her Owen Foote books.\"  —\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Guide\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clarion Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44890144768229,"sku":"NP9780547550213","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780547550213.jpg?v=1730232627","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/queen-sophie-hartley-isbn-9780547550213","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
