As the Corn Flakes and a new student from Ireland prepare for a "Performance Showcase," tempers flare and Sophie retreats to her imagination again, but a Bible story recommended by Dr. Peter helps her pull the group together.

Is this the end of childhood? When a serious illness strikes one of the Flakes, the others can't daydream their way out of the shocking news. Instead they rally 'round and find that friends-and faith-show the way to a new adventure called growing up.

Sophie and her friends are all part of an elite expedition. In order to save the world (and their science grades) they are called upon to build an elaborate space station in Fiona's backyard, and are soon lost in the world of telescopes and zero-gravity. Sophie, however, realizes building that space station is only a small solution to a much bigger dilemma when her friends and fellow astronauts begin to fight. Will she be able to complete her mission...

Sophie just wants a little bit of privacy. Willoughby's got plenty of it-but she's hanging out with a fast new crowd. And when her dad finds out, his harsh punishment shocks Sophie and her friends. What should they do? Whose rules are right?

Sophie doesn't see why a rumor that isn't true should stop her from being Jimmy's friend-but when even the Corn Flakes start to believe the whispers, she is hurt to the core. Now it's an open question whether she and the rest of the Flakes can ever be friends again!
