11yo Sophie is worried. Her elderly neighbor, also Sophie, seems to be struggling - especially with her memory. Young Sophie is sure that if she can prove there is nothing wrong with older Sophie, nothing will have to change. As young Sophie tries the three-word memory test, however, she learns interesting things about older Sophie’s history - she does not, however, feel that her experiment is a success in the memory department.
This is one of those books that adults want children to love. There are a few children who might like it, but it is not a book that kids will talk about to each other. Heart-tugging, sure. FAscinating - not so much.
The characters default white.
