Otherwise Known As Sheila The Great

How had I forgotten about this book??? It gets overshadowed by the hilarious Fudge series and Judy Blume's more serious books for older readers. This is a mistake. Sheila's inner monologue is so funny and universal. Her striving to hide her inner “sheila tubman” and only to show others “Sheila The Great” still speaks to me at 38. And my seven year-old giggled and giggled in recognition. Highly recommended for elementary kids and for grown-ups who feel like elementary kids.
