A light-hearted account of how Sophy Simpson, who loves to give advice, sets up her own problem-solving service and finds herself with one very big problem of her own to overcome: how to deal with all her customers' troubles at the same time. The author makes effective use of dialogue in this fun story for junior solo readers.
