'Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great' is also a kind of sequel to these books, but it focuses on a girl called Sheila rather than the boys of the other stories. It felt as if it was meant for a slightly older audience, too, perhaps 10-14 in age. Sheila goes away for the summer, and during this time learns a great deal about herself and her feelings, and starts to overcome her fears.
I didn't like it as much as the author's more amusing books for younger children, but it passed the time.
