Sheila was working hard in Tarrytown. She was making newspapers all by herself. Sheila was also having a lot of fun in Tarrytown but the only problem was, the house they were renting for the summer had a dog. Sheila did not hate dogs, but she certainly did not love dogs. I think Sheila was afraid of dogs. In Tarrytown Sheila also made a friend. Her friend's name was Mouse. Mouse had a lot of stuff in common with Sheila and a lot of things that were not in common. One of the things that that was not in common was Mouse loved dogs.
I thought Sheila was always acting like a showoff. Sheila never really realized that doing things by yourself is sometimes not as good as teamwork. Teamwork helps you out a lot. What I liked about Sheila was her personality. I thought Sheila was a tomboy and a scaredy cat at the same time.I would rate this book 4 hills full of toads. I did not rate it a 5 because it was not the best story in the world and Sheila did not wear any fancy clothes, but it was good. So if you want a book with sense of humor and attitude, look for Sheila The Great.
