Reach for this book when you notice your child feels like an outsider because of their unique interests, or when they value logic and facts over social connection. It is a perfect fit for the 'old soul' child who finds the playground more confusing than a complex math problem. Sophie Simon is a third grade genius who is perfectly happy with her calculus and her quest for a new graphing calculator, but her well meaning parents are desperate for her to fit in. Through a series of humorous mishaps involving three classmates who need her help, Sophie discovers that while she does not need to change who she is, there is a distinct logic to friendship that her books cannot teach her. This is a gentle, funny, and validating story for neurodivergent children or any gifted student who feels the pressure to perform normalcy. It encourages empathy and shows that even the smartest person in the room can learn something valuable from others.
