Book Review:
''Starring Sally J. Freedman as Herself'' is a delightful and heartfelt classic from acclaimed author Judy Blume. It's 1947, and Sally is always making up exciting stories. One of her favourites is about being spotted by a famous film star like Esther Williams.

But daydreams can't solve real-life problems. Like the sadness of her father having to stay in New Jersey while the rest of the family spends the winter in Florida. And hiding her secret fear that Adolf Hitler is still alive and living in Miami Beach. This warm and funny story captures the hopes, fears, and imagination of childhood in post-war America.

Perfect for children aged 9-12 and young teens, this book is a timeless classic that beautifully explores themes of family, identity, and growing up. It's a engaging, thoughtful read that will delight fans of Judy Blume and new readers alike.
