OTHERWISE KNOWN AS SHEILA THE GREAT Judy Blume
Sheila Tubman sometimes wonders who she really is: the outgoing, witty, and capable Sheila the Great, or the "secret" Sheila who's afraid of the dark, spiders, swimming, and dogs.
When her family spends the summer in Tarrytown, Sheila has to face some of her worst fears. Not only does a dog come with the rented house, but her parents expect Sheila to take swimming lessons! Sheila does her best to pretend she's an expert at everything, but she knows she isn't fooling her new best friend, Mouse Ellis, who happens to be a crackerjack swimmer and a dog lover
What will it take for Sheila to admit to the Tarrytown kids—and to herself—that she's only human?
"it's hard to imagine any child (or parent) who wouldn't enjoy this absolute lark of a book. It is an unusual and merry treatment of the fears of a young girl a truly appealing book in which the author makes her points without a single preachy word."

"A sprightly narrative that young readers will find amusing and very real." —Booklist
"Judy Blume is a careful student of such childhood customs as slumber parties, playing 'cooties', and eating Oreo cookies from the inside out. And Sheila's ongoing crisis of image is as easy to identify with as it is to laugh at." —Kirkus Reviews
