Sophie Pitt-Turnbull discovers America (2003) is a young adult novel by Dyan Sheldon.

It follows the adventures of a narrow-minded, very conventional girl, Sophie, as she ventures to America to stay with her mother's old friend, Mrs Salamanca.

But with the arrival of her brother Xar and her father writing another novel she cannot go, much to her disappointment, particularly as her best friend Jocelyn Scolfield is going out with her ex.

Her mother's old art school friend Mrs Salamanca asks if Sophie would like to swap places with her daughter Cherry who wants to go to Europe.

The companion novel, I Conquer Britain, details the experiences of Cherokee Salamanca on her exchange trip to Putney.
