On the eve of a visit from Heidi, more bad luck hits Aurora's family. There's a fire in their attic, destroying a good part of their house. And, even worse, Aurora's beloved dog goes missing.

But sometimes even when soof is right there in front of you, you still need to find it — and that's exactly what Aurora is going to do. This companion novel to So B. It is full of heart and hope.
"Mom’s love for Heidi has instilled feelings of inadequacy in Aurora, who believes her mother wishes she were more like Heidi. Aurora has always been different. She speaks a made-up language called Beepish, prefers the company of adults to that of children, and wears her T-shirts inside out because of the bothersome tags.... A now-grown and pregnant Heidi’s impending visit triggers tension between Aurora and her mother, and Aurora is determined not to be nice to Heidi. Will she learn there’s 'soof' enough for them both?" — Kirkus Reviews
