Criticism Regarding 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 :)

One of the first books I truly considered a "favorite." Judy Blume was in New York doing a reading my freshmen year of college -- not having my copy with me, I bought a new copy of this beloved favorite and had her sign it. I couldn't stop gushing about how much I loved this book :o)Superb characters, this is a book that has always "stuck with me." I often think of and remember little bits and pieces from the story. One of those books that seems to get better and better every time you re-read

Sally J. Freedman is a 12-13 year old girl who can best be described as having a creative imagination that runs wild! The book is set in the late 1940s. Sally and her mother and brother move to Florida for the winter, and Sally has managed to convince herself that an elderly man who lives in her apartment building is actually Adolf Hitler in disguise and he has come to Florida to retire.

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. 🙂

I love Judy Blume for writing these wonderful books where the whole plot is just growing up and living life. This book is about Sally Freedman, a ten-year-old Jewish girl who is growing up just after the end of World War II; she moves to Florida with her mom and brother for her brothers health and misses New York and her father a lot.Blume has said that this is her most autobiographical work, and it shows in its full-colored, multi-layered portrayal of Sallys life at ten years old. Sally is just

Giving this five stars just because I re-read this so often it's a story that stayed with me. It also fuelled my childhood obsession with Judaism and WWII. (That and my sister's GCSE textbook). Things I learnt through this book:- Who Esther Williams is.- Numerous Yiddish expressions.Things I didn't learn 'til later:- None of my family would give me a decent response when I enquired what a 'bordello' was. And it wasn't in whatever sub-par dictionary I looked it up in.

I was recently reminded of this after a conversation about the rarity of children's books about Jews that aren't all Holocaust all the time. I remembered loving this as a kid and am pleased that it stands up well to a rereading as an adult. Blume really is a good writer.[return][return]This is the story of Sally, a ten-year-old girl who moves from New Jersey to Florida with her mom, brother, and grandma after World War II, because her brother has been ill and winters down south are recommended
