Ellen Tebbits is convinced she'll die of embarrassment if any of the girls at school discover her secret. But then she meets Austine Allen, a new girl in class who's hiding the very same secret. Instantly, the two become best friends. They do everything together, from clapping erasers to riding horses. Ellen quickly learns that embarrassing secrets and pesky troublemakers like Otis Spofford aren't so bad when you have someone special to stick up for you. But then Ellen does something terrible that makes Austine stop speaking to her. Will she ever be able to prove how sorry she is?©1951 Beverly Cleary (P)2005 HarperCollins Publishers, Inc.

This book was GREAT!!! A true Beverly Cleary original. I noticed several motifs from some of her other works. I’ll continue to listen to more of her books. Ellen is kind, imaginative, and a very good friend. However, Austene is my favorite. She’s very outgoing and has a pure heart. Fantastic work Ms. Cleary, and great work audible!

I listened to this book to see why I liked it so much as a child. I can see that Ellen and I had much of the same luck and experiences, so I must have felt a connection to her. Narrator was a good Ellen and Otis. Austine and the rest of the characters sounded like 40 yo men with colds. As much as I hate to criticize, those voices were awful. But overall I enjoyed the story.

A Childhood Favorite

I liked this story, but the narration was distracting.

The voice was completely unsuitable --did not have a childlike quality. Sounded harsh, overly emphatic, and lacked freshness.

Too bad, a nice little story.

A cute book
