Synopsis: It is summer vacation and Sheila Tubman's family has decided to spend their summer house-sitting a friend's home in Tarrytown, New York. Sheila is used to most things going her way. On the first day, she learns she has to share a house with a dog and sleep in a boy's room. Not a good start.
Sheila is not known for admitting she doesn't know something or can't do something. When she meets Mouse, she finds out how far she can stretch a friendship with lies and stories.
Enjoy a wonderful book on learning about yourself and friendship. Sheila certainly did.
This print and use workbook is a child-directed literature study that requires no teacher or parental prep time.
The format is an exciting new approach to studying literature. Each page engages the student in many interesting activities.

This process ensures full comprehension of the novel. Additional activities involve illustrating, sequencing, analyzing characters, and point of view.
The literature study concludes with an organized and detailed book summary. A simple rubric is included for grading the book summary.

I like the comprehension activities. The activities on point of view and character analysis were especially useful for my students. I also like how the questions were specific to Sheila the Great. Surprisingly, many people who submit novel packets do not do that. I was impressed with this one after having downloaded two others only to be disappointed with the quality! This one was definitely worth the money.

Great independent study for my advance 3rd graders. Only problem is that the page numbers for the vocab words vary depending on book editions.

I am glad our students were able to use the novel study independently. Sorry for the page number inconvenience. We hope that book companies do new editions in the same size as old editions but it doesn't always work out.
