Sally was ten when she made herself a movie star. As big a star as either Esther Williams or Margaret O'Brien, for whom she dreamed up some of her best stories.
Sally would never have had to leave New Jersey to reach stardom except that in 1947 her older brother Douglas became ill, so the Freedman family traveled south to spend eight months in the sunshine of Florida. That's where Sally met her friends Andrea, Barbara and Shelby Peter and Georgia Blue Eyes—and her unsuspecting enemy Adolf Hitler.
Dear Chief of Police: You don't know me but I am a detective from New Jersey. I have uncovered a very interesting case down here. I have discovered that Adolf Hitler is alive and has come to Miami Beach to retire. He is pre- tending to be an old Jewish man...
While she watched and waited, and kept a growing file of letters under her bed, Sally's Hitler played an important—though not quite starring—role in one of her grandest movie spectaculars.

Work Description
Starring Sally J. Freedman as Herself is a 1977 young adult novel by Judy Blume. The story is set in 1947 and follows the imaginative 10-year-old Sally, who likes to make up stories in her head, her family moves from New Jersey to Miami Beach. While not as controversial as some of her other novels, Blume does manage to address the following themes of late 1940s life in America: racism, anti-Semitism and sibling rivalry.
