I'm not a fan of Sheila's character. I found her annoying. She has a lot of anxiety which she masks by acting like a know-it-all.

This book holds up.
Also, Sheila is still an asshole.

Sheila is scared of a lot of things,which is kind of refreshing if you’re an anxious person. This wasn’t as great as the other Fudge books we’ve read, but my son and I enjoyed it.

My kids and I listened to this audio book over a number of travel trips. While I liked the overall premise of the book, I must say that I was not a fan of some of the language used by Sheila. I must confess that my kids were intrigued with little Sheila. They listened attentively to her story, and they asked several questions based on what they heard. When Sheila said one of our no-no words, they were quick to point it out...every time. I guarantee you that we talked about what is appropriate and what is inappropriate for a child to say. Should you read or listen to this title with your little ones, I am positive that your takeaway discussion will be lively.
I secured a copy of this title from my local library.

The summer travails of a 4th grade girls who is afraid of dogs, swimming, spiders, and the headless horsemen. I asked the girls to rate this when we finished, and one gave it 5 stars, the other gave it 3 (because the talk of the headless horseman scared her).

Read this after "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" because it was written next. However it was a spin off, so I could have skipped to "Superfudge" and not read this. It was good to read a book of the girls perspective to my son for a change. However, Sheila was an uninspiring, fearful, average character. She reminds me of the female equivalent to Alvin Ho. Sheila was scared of everything!

I'd forgotten the fat-shaming in this book. Oh, the 1970s . . . .

I think this, like all Judy Blume, is a great book. It’s not rated higher simply because it’s not my cup of tea. Please see bio for my rating guide.

Re-reading the Fudge Series with my son - enjoying revisiting these characters and looking forward to the final book that was released past my childhood!
