The book is a notebook given by the home. First we have a
"This is Me" series of pages where Sophia tells us about
her life, being well-behaved, her favorite books and
computer games, enjoyment of art and crafts, living at
Holy Family (as she calls the children's home), the
various girls who also live there, and about her father
and her love for him.
Then we go into the story properly. Sophia is annoyed
about being the best-behaved person at Holy Family and how
all the girls - Emma, Charlotte, Evelyn, Elizabeth and
Samantha (who are the same age as her) - are playing up.
She discusses this with her father. Because he is
separated from her he suggests that maybe Sophia should
just play up now and again. Sophia tries this in various
places but no one notices, maybe because she doesn't do a
good job about it. She wishes she was more like that other
girl on the telly, but can't remember who she is. She
bursts into tears for being ignored. One of the carers
cuddles her and says they're sorry for taking her for
granted. The home then holds a Sophia Turner Day. Sophia
is nervous about having to give a speech, then decides
it's her day and she can do what she wants, so she does a
funny dance instead. Everyone tucks into orange squash and
cake. A carer wants wine but he is told he can't. This is
all written in Sophia's point of view. The story includes
various letters and posters as part of the story.
