One note asks, \"Who are you?\" The other asks, \"Where does the world come from?\" From here, with the aid of a devoted but mysterious instructor, Sophie sets off on a fantastic philosophical saga that will take her far beyond her small Norwegian hometown. Letters give way to lectures, questions give way to quests, and the dimensions of Sophie's world (as well as our own) grow ever wider, deeper, and richer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jostein Gaarder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1250860490\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250860491\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Picador USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/29\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.38w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 29\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e42976 \/ Sophie's World\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jostein Gaarder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896384839935,"sku":"9781250860491","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_60fc8615-021a-4652-b5ba-9fd9ffff23af.jpg?v=1721371258","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sophies-world-jostein-gaarder-9781250860491","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
