YA
Sophie is disappointed when her parents tell her they aren't summering in France, so when her mom suggests spending the vacation with an old friend in New York, Sophie jumps at the chance. Once in Brooklyn (not Manhattan), British Sophie's haughty reaction to her surroundings and exchange family is believable and entertaining, but her quick turnaround is a little hard to buy.
