It seemed as if there were two Sheilas--both ten year old--SHEILA THE GREAT and sheila Cuban. And a summer in the strange suburban world of Tarrytown, complete with such terrors as swimming lessons, thunderstorms, and a resident beagle might just undermine "THE GREAT" image once and for all.

But wait--and read! Sheila Tubman had resources she didn't even know about. How she made friends with Mouse Ellis, junior yo-yo champion; held up the props in the daycamp production of Peter Pan; and even survived the dread moments of truth revealed by Slam Books at a slumber party make a very, very funny story--worthy of SHEILA THE GREAT.

Judy Blume has written another perceptively amusing book, sure to please everyone who chuckled over TALES OF A FOURTH GRADE NOTHING as well as those who haven't yet had that pleasure.
