  2. This book is about a girl named Sonia Nadhamuri. Sonia's cultural background is half Jewish and half Indian. Sonia's dad loses his job during this book. Sonia goes to a new public school. My favorite part is when Sonia has a sleepover with her friend. I think kids would love this book if they like realistic fiction.

  3. This book is about a girl named Sonia Nadhamuni and her family as they go through many adventures. My favorite quote from this book was where the cheerleader at the tryouts said, “Next up, Sonia Nada-hooey,” the captain of the cheerleading team said. This book was an excellent book because the characters had wonderful personalities the book was also very hysterical and I also like the friends of the main characters and they had wonderful personalities as well.
