Commentary Supposing Books Starring Sally J. Freedman as Herself

It's 1947, and Sally J. Freedman is full of wild ideas. She's got her eye on handsome Peter Horstein, the Latin lover of her dreams . . . on old Mr. Zavodsky, who looks suspiciously like Hitler in disguise . . . and on her father, who Sally misses terribly. There are so many things to worry and wonder about--but what ever happens, Sally's school year will certainly be exciting--and unforgettable.

Crit About Books Starring Sally J. Freedman as Herself

So my mother found a stack of book reviews I did in elementary school as part of my class competition for who could read the most books in one year. In her endless quest to clean out my paraphernalia from her house, they are now with me. I guess there were shades of GR back then--I won. Here is a random book review from the middle of the pack. Warning, I was a terrible and still am a terrible speller. Thank goodness for spell check! Otherwise I probably would have had to become an engineer :)

I enjoyed the plot, but I felt a bit lost. I feel it was fast-paced. Like, they would be at home, then suddenly in a blimp. I did, however, like Sally's imagination and how she would make stories.

I know that Starring Sally J. Freedman as Herself supposedly is very much autobiographical in scope, and with this salient truth in mind, I do to a certain point very much applaud Judy Blume for not in any way sugar-coating or attempting to make light of the fact that once Sally (who is obviously based on the author herself), her mother and ailing older brother have moved to Florida (because of Douglas' nephritis), she absolutely despises her elderly neighbour Mr. Zavodsky and actually believes

I loved this book as a child, and decided to comfort-read it this week. I picked up a copy at Salvation army for fifty cents a couple years ago, and it has been sitting on my shelf ever since. I always thought that the book was about Hawaii, but it's actually set in Miami. ;)I like the way Blume writes and the way that she deals with hard topics in a children's/teen book. Relationships, sex, breasts, babies, death and Hitler are all mentioned in this book. This book is set in 1947, but in many

I have read this book countless times. It is the kind of book I pick up in between books. It is about a girl after World War II who moves to Florida for the winter. I really like this book because the main character makes a lot of mistakes, but then learns from them. She has all kinds of adventures, like going to a new school, making up stories in her head, and dreaming about her favorite movie star. This book just makes you smile. I dont know how else to put it. 🙂

This was one of my favorite books from when I was a child. I overidentified with Sally (I also had a tendency to make up more interesting realities than my own) and I thought she was just really smart and fun.And now there are spoilers.Here's what I remembered going in: set shortly after World War II; Sally is Jewish and has several fantasies about saving her relatives who died in a concentration camp and killing Hitler; her older brother gets sick--something to do with his kidneys---and her

Even though this wasn't one of my favorite Judy Blume books as a kid, I still read it numerous times. I always liked that it was technically historical fiction, but it didn't feel like it. It just felt like another contemporary Judy Blume book that happened to be set right after World War II. That being said, Sally was never my favorite character. I liked her imagination, but I don't know that I actually liked her.
