Lara Bergen - Sophie the Daredevil

“No.” Hayley shook her head again. “Besides, don’t you read or watch TV? People go on dates first. They don’t just get married.”

“They don’t?” Sophie frowned. She thought that was exactly what they did.

“No.” Hayley rolled her eyes. “You’ll know that when you’re ten.”

Sophie turned to Kate. She could tell this was news to her, too. But if Ms. Moffly and Mr. Bloom had to go out on a date first, then that’s what they would do.

Sophie slapped the paper down on her lap desk. Then she took her pen and went back to work.

Dear Ms. Moffly, Lila,

I love you.

Will you marry me?Go on a date with me?

Sinseerly, Mr. BloomMike

P.S. Then will you marry me?

When she was done, Sophie showed it to Hayley. “Better?” she asked.

Hayley shrugged. But she didn’t look so sure.

Finding the right name isn’t easy!

Just like Sophie, Lara Bergenwould love to find a name that describes her perfectly … but for now she’ll settle with being the author of this great series and many other books for children — and, before that, the proud editor of many more. She lives in the Big Apple, New York City, with the best husband and two children in the world.
