Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great

This is about ten year old Sheila Tubman, Peter Hatcher 's rival. She and her family go to Tarrytown for the summer and they get a dog at their new house named Jennifer who Sheila is afraid of. She sleeps in a room which is dark and has a spider. She is forced to take swimming lessons as well! Luckily, her new best friend Mouse Ellis loves swimming and is a champion at yo-yos. But overall, Sheila doesn't know how she'll prove to everyone who she really is when she has to deal with too many risks! Confident Sheila or Secret Sheila?
