It's Diary of a Wimpy Kid for girls! Find out just what happens when class is not in session in this first book in the BLOGTASTIC! series.

Gossip from the Girls’ Room fills readers in on all there is to learn about middle school life at Middlebrooke, where Sofia has her very own blog and discusses all the juicy gossip that comes out of the Girls’ room.
 
In Sofia's words . . .

Mia St. Claire is only the most popular girl in all of Middlebrooke Middle School. For three very obvious reasons:

1. She's very rich.
2. She has tons of money.
3. She can buy anything and everything she wants. And she does.

I'm sure people like her for other reasons too, but none of those reasons are obvious enough for me to really know. Or care about, for that matter.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Sixth-grader Sophia just wants to be one of the popular students at Middlebrooke Middle School. Unfortunately, her plans to accomplish this have not met with success. Sophia and BFF Nona did not end up in super fun elective classes where they could talk to cool kids, and their after-school activities did not make them popular, just sweaty. After the final straw—Sophia’s mom taking a substitute-teacher position at the school—Sophia becomes determined to use her anonymous school blog to post gossip about the popular kids in hopes that at least her blog will find popularity. Things go awry though, and Sophia discovers that maybe the popular girl she is trying to bring down isn’t so bad after all. Written as a journal with illustrations and asides, this humorous take on trying to fit in will find wide appeal. Hand this to female fans of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, and they’ll soon start anticipating Sophia’s next adventure. Grades 5-8. --Shauna Yusko

Review

"Diary of a Wimpy Kid meets Harriet the Spy." - Keeper of all Wisdom (blog)

"Rose Cooper brings Sofia to life in her debut book...Through her witty words and sketches, Cooper is able to take a serious concept, bullying and name-calling, and show readers why it’s a bad idea." - GirlsLife.com

"I really enjoyed reading this book...It's totally BLOGTASTIC!" - National Geographic Kids

"Written as a journal with illustrations and asides, this humorous take on trying to fit in will find wide appeal. Hand this to female fans of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, and they'll soon start anticipating Sophia's next adventure." - Booklist

"Cooper keely captures Sofia's quintessential preteen voice: spunky and full of a blustering bravado meant to mask her vulnerability. Sofia's experiences, recorded in faux-hand printing on lined paper, and the many hilarious sketches scattered throughout the journal will garner groans and laughs from readers." - Kirkus Reviews

"The tone here is frothy and middle-school histrionic, making Sofia a wonderfully entertaining voice...Cooper’s black-and-white sketches add additional comic appeal; particularly amusing are the portraits, composed with big-eyed manga flair and a caricature-esque attention to defining details." - The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"What a very clever book! . . . Girls reading this book will truly understand what Sophia is going through. The writing is interesting, flows well, has humor and heartbreak, and is such a perfect book for a girl. . . . Perfect for a reluctant reader." --Children's Literature

Amazingly Normal Random Facts:

Her cat, Mia Kitty, is named after the evil popular girl in my Blogtastic book series. Although her kitty isn't evil. Or popular.

She loves chocolate. And bacon. Oooh...chocolate bacon! BAM!

Rose is her middle name. Her first name is super secret.

She take bribes that involve chocolate. You know you really want to know her first "real" name *hint,hint*

She's not pale. It's called porcelain and she's rocking it.

Rose used to live close to a cemetery. And by close, she means practically on top of.

She's been in a hearse. Occupied. With a corpse. Jealous much?

If Rose had a dollar for every time she got distracted, she wishes she had some ice cream...

I just love love love this awesome book. U should also read the other books their really good. I know the cover looks kinda stupid and the slightest bit inappropriate, but trust me, it's not.( btw, I said it looks inappropriate because it says gossip from the girls room.) anyways, u should get this book. But this question is for the Amazon bookstore: could u plz lower the price? Because it's kinda pricey. Ok that's all I've got to say.

This novel about a middle grader who blogs is the cutest thing I've picked up lately. Sofia and her antics were a pleasure to read about. Jealousy, competition, friendship, and other tween concerns all packed a humorous punch. And the illustrations rocked.
