My son says he really liked the story and he really liked the amount of unicorns Sophie had.

If you are looking for a book that keeps the kiddos engaged- check out Sophie Johnson. Great mystery

This book is supposed to be humorous, but I found it pointless. The story is that Sophie is a self-proclaimed unicorn expert who dresses up animals as unicorns, but doesn't even notice a real one when it comes on the scene. That could be clever, but the unicorn was much too obvious the whole time, and it was impossible for me to suspend disbelief. There is nothing subtle or mysterious about the unicorn's presence, so the main character just looks dumb.

I didn't like the first book in this series, but I did enjoy this one! Sophie is convinced that she is a detective genius, and tells the reader all about her skills and accomplishments. Meanwhile, a dual storyline plays out where her dog is the real detective, while she is totally unaware of what was is going on behind her. This was clever and interesting, and her obliviousness was much more convincing and funny here than it was in the first book.

This story has fun illustrations, but there is no meaningful plot or structure, and there's not even a twist at the end.
