Summary: Sheila was a girl who went on vacations to Terrytown.There she met Mouse a girl who knows how to use the yoyo. Sheila was afraid to go to the pool because she didn't know how to swim,so her mom put her in swimming lessons. She was mad because she didn't want to go.They had a dog named Jennifer but Sheila doesn't like dogs because she gets hives from them.Then it was time to go back where she came from, so before she left she wanted to thank everyone before she left,she made a party and then she went back home.But next summer she is going to back to Terrytown.


Review: Yes I liked this book because it showed how Sheila had a great vacation without forgetting her old town. She had great adventures and met new friends in a new town.I liked it too because it showed me new stuff that I didn't know before.

  1. You made this book stand out for me. I read the book when my daughter was in fourth grade because it was her favorite book. Your review was spot on. I liked reading it. Do you have any other good books that you like?

  2. I have always been fond about Judy Blume books, but I didn't know this one. Sheila surely seems to have overcome many of her fears over the summer. It's great when friends don't forget about their old pals, isn't it?
