Ellen Tebbits has an embarrassing secret that she'll never share with anyone. That is, until she meets Austine—and discovers that Austine has the exact same secret! Soon the girls are best friends who do everything together—attending dance class, riding horses, and dodging pesky Otis Spofford, the neighborhood troublemaker.
But then Ellen does something terrible . . . and now Austine isn't speaking to her. Ellen desperately wants her best friend back. How can she show Austine how sorry she is?
Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly Cleary brings her warm humor to this funny story of a girl readers will recognize—and love.
Ellen and her troubles are both funny and touching; we meet her trying to hide her long underwear at dancing school, and playing a substitute rat in `The Pied Piper.' All is told with a downright realism, and the school scenes are choice.

Ellen Tebbits
Beverly Cleary is a national treasure for early middle grade chapter books. I read this quick read for the first time and it was amusing. I like Ellen and I can relate to her realness, but spoiled rotten Otis steals the show. He is the perfect antagonist.
Ellen is looking for a friend and she bonds with Austine over being forced to wear long winter underwear. I'm glad this is no longer a thing. Still, it makes for some comedy gold. Ellen is learning the complexities of having a friend.
I do wonder why this didn't take off like Ramona did. I think this is good stuff too. There is a book about Otis. Ramona stole the show later and I would have liked to hear more from Ellen at some point too. It is a bit dated and a bit timeless. It is certainly an easier time for girls than now days with horrible bullying in 1st grade and onward. I'm glad I read this.
