When Sally's family moves to Miami Beach for the winter of 1947, she's excited and scared at the same time. What will school be like in Florida? Will she make any friends? Will she fit in so far away from home?

But none of this stops Sally from having the most amazing adventures. One minute she's a famous movie star or a brilliant detective; the next, she's found the Latin lover of her dreams— her classmate Peter Hornstein. And what about the Freedman's neighbor, old Mr. Zavodsky, who looks suspiciously like Hitler in disguise?

Sally's life is a movie played inside her head, and Miami Beach is her best setting yet. If only she didn't have so much to worry about.

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.
