Helpful Score: 1
Well I think it was a really good book, because it was really funny and interesting at the same time. It was good to read because it kept me wanting to read it to the very end so that I could find out what happens.

my daughter loved this book!! She read it numerous times and it never gets old.
Sheila Tubman sometimes wonders who she really is: confident, outgoing, brilliant Sheila the Great...Or Secret Sheila, who's afraid of spiders, the dark, swimming, and most of all dogs. When her family decides to spend the summer in the country, Sheila has to face some of her worst fears. Not only does a dog come with the rented house, but her parents expect her to take swimming lessons! Sheila triest to pretend she's an expert at everything. But she isn't fooling her new best friend, Mouse Ellis- who happens to be an outstanding swimmer and a dog lover...
I've loved this book since I was a kid and still love it now.
"It's hard to imagine any child who wouldn't enjoy this absolute lark of a book. A truly appealing book in which the author makes her points without a single preachy word." - Publishers Weekly
My daughter loved this Judy Blume book. She read the entire book in two days.
This is a great book for middle age kids.Good book.
I read this when I was a child (going back a couple of decades for this one). I remember it being a good book. Hey, it is a Judy Blume book afterall. It is a children's classic.
I remember reading this book when I was a 9 or 10 years old and I loved it. I swapped this book for my 9 year old daughter and she could not put it down! Judy Blume lives on, she's hooked!
Judy Blume is a wonderful children's book author -- still loved as much as ever.
Wonderful book about Peter Hatcher's "frenemy", Sheila Tubman. One of the greatest things about Judy Blume's books is that her characters are timeless and relatable to children. When I was a kid, I was devouring her books, and now my nine year old is doing the same thing. This is one of his favorites.
Good Book
Read this book when I was a child and loved it! Great for pre-teens!
A classic from Judy Bloom.
Great book by a great author. These books were the highlight of my day during my childhood.
Sheila Tubman is not quite sure who she is. Sometimes she feels like confident, brilliant Sheila the Great and other times she's secret Sheila, who's afraid of spiders, the dark, swimming, and most of all, dogs. When her family decides to leave the city for a summer in the country, Sheila will have to suffer everything from long-eared dogs to swimming lessons to creepy spiders. That's enough to drive any city girl nuts! If she can survive the summer at all, Sheila may be forced to admit that she's no supergirl.
Sheila Tubman wants everyone to believe she's great and fearless. But is she really? When her family spends the summer away in Tarrytown, she has to face her fears and admit to them.

I requested this book/ series for my 1st Grader son (7& a half years old) bc I remembered it being one of the first books I read when I was his age which I really enjoyed. So much in fact that it helped me to fall in love with the world of books and reading. I was very pleased and impressed to see him pick it up, read a chapter (one of his daily duties/chores is to read 1 chapter a day), and then read another chapter, voluntarily, and another and another. Mission accomplished, and I am giving myself a proverbial pat on the back! :)
