Narrative Conducive To Books Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great (Fudge #2)

Sheila and her friends were writing in their Slam Books, writing what they really think of each other. I knew I didn't have to worry about what my friends think of me, because I am careful to keep my bad points to myself, Sheila was thinking. Sometimes I think I am really two people. I am the only one who knows sheila tubman—afraid of dogs, spiders, the dark, thunder...can't swim, work a yo-yo, never heard of Washington Irving. Everyone else knows only SHEILA THE GREAT—knowledgeable, witty, afraid of nothing.

But the Slam Books reveal a few chinks in Sheila's carefully wrought armor, and if she is fooling anyone, it certainly isn't her new friend Mouse Ellis, Junior Yo-yo Champion of Tarrytown, swimmer, and dog lover.

Slowly, Sheila begins o overcome her fears by admitting them, and she even learns to admit there are some things she doesn't know about. By the time her family has to return to New York City, Sheila decides that sleeping in a boy's room, sharing the rented house with a dog, and taking those dread swimming lessons were not so bad, after all, perhaps even better than a trip to Disneyland.

Weigh Up Regarding Books Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great (Fudge #2)

This is a little book about fear and facing your fears. Sheila is afraid of many things and instead of admitting she is afraid she talks about how wonderful she is at everything and will not admit she is afraid. Through her friend Mouse she learns to admit to being afraid and eventually she faces her fear and learns to swim. A sweet little story. Not on the same level as Old Yeller. I wonder if all the best books are about death. This is not about death, yet it is about fear and fear is

I can't help wondering about the scale of how much certain books are stuck in a certain time, or whether they have "timeless" aspects.For this book about Sheila, I understand why Judy Blume was such a phenomenal writer when she focused on young people books. Sheila is a fully developed character with attitude, gumption, fears, annoyances and a great capacity to annoy as well! She is quick to make friends and just as quick to let these new friends see her vibrant opinions. She boldly tells fibs

This is the second book in the Fudge series by Judy Blume. Our oldest read the first book in the series, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, when she was in fourth grade, and I strongly encouraged her to continue the series. She started this book as well as Superfudge, but she never finished them because she said that she just didn't get into them. I didn't understand why. Until now.Sheila is whiny, irritating, and completely insufferable. She lies at the drop of a hat, is afraid of everything and

For some reason I don't remember this one as much as the other books in the Fudge series, but I thought it was adorable. Sheila... what a character she is! Great on Audio (read by Judy Blume).

Judy Blume's 1972 Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great is one of these novels that while I can and do much appreciate the plot-lines, the characterisation, the often spot on descriptions of 1970s Middle Class America, I just DO NOT LIKE the main character (Sheila Tubman) all that much (if at all). Because although massively insecure, with many fears (which also unfortunately her parents do not generally take in any way seriously enough), Sheila is nevertheless constantly, annoyingly boasting

A good book for mid elementary years.

Sheila Tubman is a boastful know-it-all who is secretly scared of all sorts of things. Perhaps actual 10 year old children can identify with this character, but I didn't find her endearing. (My advice? Read Anastasia Krupnik instead.)There are some nice moments in this book -- and I did like the character of Mouse, and the poor boy who teaches Sheila how to swim, and the brilliant description of the "slam book" at the sleepover -- but mostly I just found Sheila bratty and annoying.
