Charlie and her best friend Nicole never dreamed that auditioning for the junior high's musical would lead to this much drama! Charlie gets stuck babysitting her little sister--and her sister's imaginary friend--at rehearsals. The school's theater diva has it out for her. And who gets picked to play the male lead? The cutest guy in school! But when the curtain finally goes up, the spotlight falls on something no one expected-- especially Charlie.

"Sophie Miller's life is boring. Average. Blah. She's not the oldest or the youngest, the tallest or the shortest. She's not even the only Sophie in her third-grade class! Sophie knows she's special. And she's come up with the perfect name to show it: Sophie the Awesome! But living up to her name won't be easy--especially if super-annoying Toby Myers has anything to say about it. Can Sophie prove her awesomeness... and prove everyone wrong?"--P. [4]...

Sophie has learned the importance of telling the truth, but when the other kids tell her the truth about how annoying her constant talking is and start calling her Sophie the Chatterbox, she realizes that the truth can sometimes hurt.

Sophie knows she can live up to her new name, Sophie the Daredevil, because she has always been fearless, but she soon learns that sometimes it is okay to admit that things are a little scary.
