A review by thecaptainsquarters
Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great by Judy Blume
1.0
Ahoy there me mateys! I was looking for short audiobooks that fit certain time restrictions. I was having so much fun revisiting old books from me childhood that when I saw that Judy Blume herself narrates these I just had to give them a whirl. And I am so very glad I did. Judy Blume is a fantastically wonderful reader. I almost wish I had been introduced to these books by listening to them on audio book. Of course I only read books one and three when I was a kid. So I went back and listened to the entire series.
otherwise known as sheila the great:
This book is sometimes considered book two of the series because it follows a side character from book one named Sheila. The story is that Sheila goes on summer vacation with her family to Tarrytown and has to go to summer camp. I had never read it before and have to admit that I didn’t like it. Though it has some good parts, Sheila is a pathological liar who can’t admit when she is wrong or scared. Also there is a sleepover with girl hatred going on in the form of a nasty quiz. There is also a lot of fat shaming. The good parts do not outweigh the bad. Sheila comes across as a nincompoop. She does not seem nearly as awful in the fudge books. I think I will try to eject this from me noggin and go back to me milder version of Sheila from the other books.
