Sophia has some wonderful friends that are there for her after her Nana’s death, Pedro and Mr O’D. Our story starts here and is wonderfully shown, not told. You can see her spoiled cat, see and feel the embarrassment as Sophia is tripped by “Cruella” to land in a handsome boy’s lap. 

Sophia and Pedro go to a school where uniforms are worn, but the upper-crust classmates are given preference by the teacher. They are being taught about the social elite from the 1880’s, and planning on dressing for Halloween like the Vanderbilt’s, Astor’s, and the like. To find out more, pick up a copy of this mystery…

Susan Stoderl's book is a delight. Wonderful book for my niece, after I read it first. I also love that it has a little bit of History in it about NYC. I would recommend it for any young person who loves to read.


Thank you Susan for a great book!

This book is absolutely adorable and had me hooked from the very beginning. I couldn't resist turning page after page, and I found it impossible to put down. It's a delightful read that I believe anyone would thoroughly enjoy.
