When all her friends have cell phones, Sophie is determined to get one too.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Only Losers Don't Have Cell Phones...</strong> </p><p>That's what Sophie thinks in the beginning of this hilarious and heartwarming, illustrated chapter book about fitting in. She feels like an outsider because she's the only one in her class without a cell phone, and her crush, new kid Toby Johnson, has been calling her best friend Chloe. To fit in, Sophie changes who she is. Her plan to become popular works for a while, and she and Toby start to become friends. Things get more complicated when Sophie "borrows" a cell phone and gets caught. If her parents make her tell the truth, what will her friends think? Turns out Toby has also been hiding something, and Sophie discovers the best way to make true friends is to be yourself. </p><p><strong>Here's what Goodreads reviewers say about Sophie Washington: Things You Didn't Know About Sophie: </strong></p><ul><li>"Sophie is a real character with flaws and it is fun reading how she matures.
