Living Books: Sheila Rae, the Brave

27.02.1996
Based on the book by Kevin Henkes, Sheila Rae, the Brave is the eleventh Living Book and released on February 27, 1996. It was the last title in the series to use the old 512 x 384 resolution. The story is about how Sheila Rae isn't afraid of anything, unlike her sister Louise, who is frightened of anything her sister does. This is, once again, one of the rarest titles due to being out of print for a long time, and is very hard to come across.
