ESTHER WILLIAMS IS SEARCHING FOR A GIRL TO PLAY HER YOUNGER SISTER IN A NEW MOVIE. SHE COMES TO MIAMI BEACH. WHEN SHE SPOTS SALLY, SHE SAYS, 'THAT'S HER ... THAT'S THE GIRL 1 WANT TO PLAY MY LITTLE SISTER!'

A highly imaginative girl, Sally constantly makes up stories — stories in which she is always the star of her own lavish film spectaculars. But, when her close-knit family are separated because of her brother's illness, even Sally's daydreams are not enough to comfort her. With her beloved father left behind in New Jersey, a winter in the Florida sunshine seems gloomy and the cramped and dingy flat can't compare with her comfortable home, or her new classmates with her old school friends. Worst of all it is 1947 and Sally is convinced that Adolf Hitler is alive and living in Miami Beach ...

Work Description

Starring Sally J. Freedman as Herself is a 1977 young adult novel by Judy Blume. The story is set in 1947 and follows the imaginative 10-year-old Sally, who likes to make up stories in her head, her family moves from New Jersey to Miami Beach. While not as controversial as some of her other novels, Blume does manage to address the following themes of late 1940s life in America: racism, anti-Semitism and sibling rivalry.
