Otherwise Known As Sheila The Great

My rating: **

The title of this book made me think it would be about a girl called Sheila, and she would be very popular or famous. I was wrong. The book was about Sheila and she was scared of loads of things and her mum and dad helped her not be scared of those things. Her friends thought she was a scaredy-cat, but she proved them wrong. For example, she was scared of swimming, but her mum made her do swimming lessons. She had a test at the end of the year, where at first she was scared she would drown, but then when she got into the pool, she put her head in the water and blew bubbles. Her friends shouted "Come on!" and encouraged her. She passed the test and was very proud of herself.

I would recommend this book to younger readers.
