Illustrated by
Wendy Anderson Halperin.
In the attic, Sophie finds an old doll belonging to her mother and her grandmother. Though well-meaning, Sophie causes Rose to have several accidents, which makes her more protective of Rose and love her more than ever. The pencil and watercolor illustrations are homey and real, inviting the reader into the intimate world of this loyal friendship and chronicling dozens of their activities together.
