Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Sheila Tubman is not quite sure who she is. Just when she's convinced that she really is confident, witty Sheila the Great, she is confronted with her worst fears. Faced with long-eared dogs, swimming lessons, and spiders, Sheila may be forced to admit that she's not a supergirl after all.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not the same book you read as a kid
We borrowed this book from the library after we read a couple of the Fudge books that we had on the shelf at home. I was surprised that the text now refers to a CD player and personal computers used by children, even though neither existed at the time the book was written. I found the changes jarring and wondered what else had been changed in the book that wasn't so obvious.
As an adult, I was disturbed by how casually the subject of friends being mean (or at least brutally honest) to one ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - sheila the great!!
I loved this book as a kid and I still love it now!! It was great to read it again and share in this girl's view of the world and the things that scare her and how she overcomes them!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Favorite book
This was my all time favorite book as a kid. I still will recall parts of it in relation to my life now (im 39) . My daughter is finally eight and I cant wait for her to read it. Love this book, I could not have made it through childhood without Judy Blume and this book.,
