  • Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great

    Judy Blume

    Paperback (Scholastic, Inc., Aug. 16, 2004)
    Sheila is a person who is very worried about how she is perceived by other people. She is unsure of herself, and when she doesn't know something, she tells white lies instead of just admitting it. When her family goes to upstate New York for the summer, Sheila is confronted with her fears of dogs and swimming, and in making new friends she must deal with her worries about herself. You may already be familliar with Sheila from the "Fudge" stories, but this book paints a more in depth, endearing picture of her. As always, Judy Blume uses humor to portray situations that might not be so funny were we in them ourselves.

  • Otherwise Known As Sheila the Great

    Judy Blume

    Paperback (Dell Yearling, Aug. 16, 1980)
    Sheila and her friends were writing in their Slam Books, writing what they really think of each other. I knew I didn't have to worry about what my friends think of me, because I am careful to keep my bad points to myself, Shelia was thinking. Sometimes I think I am really two people. I am the only one who knows sheila tubman- afraid of dogs, spiders, the dark, thunder. . . can't swim, work a yo-yo, never heard of Washington Irving. Everyone else knows only Sheila the Great- knowledgeable, witty, afraid of nothing. But the Slam Books reveal a few chinks in Sheila's carefully wrought armor, and if she if fooling anyone, it certainly isn't her new friend Mouse Ellis, Junior Yo-yo champion of Tarrytown, swimmer, and dog lover. Slowly, Sheila begins to overcome her fears by admitting them, and she even learns to admit there are some things she doesn't know about. By the time her family has to return to New York City, Sheila decides that sleeping in a boy's room, sharing the rented house with a dog, and taking those dread swimming lessons were not so bad, after all, perhaps even better than a trip to Disneyland.
