Sincerely Sophie/Sincerely Katie — Courtney Sheinmel

Eleven-year-old Sophie Turner attends an all-girls private school in Manhattan. When Sophie's family falls apart and her best friend rejects her for a faster crowd, Sophie's only source of comfort is the distant voice of her school-assigned pen pal, Katie.

Eleven-year-old Katie Franklin lives in California. She is thrilled to be spearheading a charity project with her best friend, Jake -- but when Jake starts paying attention to another girl, a jealous and misunderstood Katie is left with one friend she can confide in -- her pen pal, Sophie.

This realistic, gentle novel is a testament to the enduring power of friendship -- even from miles away.
