Sophia the Snoop by Lara Bergen Book Review

"Sophia the Snoop" by Lara Bergen is one in a series of books about the titular Sophia and her quest to find a definitive name and in a larger sense her identity.  

In this case Sophia has found an old Sherlock Holmes hat and has resolved to become the worlds greatest detective. Unfortunately for Sophia she finds her self at the center of every mystery and isn't that great at resolving them. 

The great thing about this book is that it teaches kids that failure is not that big of a deal, they should never try to be something they are not, and that they should not jump to conclusions. The bad side of things is that it discourages children from trying new skills and permits them to give up. Sophia doesn't learn about forensic science and her positive growth is questionable.

In short, this is not a bad book but it's not going to encourage your child to go into law enforcement. 

Who should read this book: Young Girls
