Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret

Judy Blume is a must for all grade school kids.

Favorite book growing up...I think I've read it at least 20 times!

my love affair with books & reading started with this borrowed-from-a-friend book when i was in 4th grade. i sooo love this book!!

Read this book in Junior high school. This a book EVERY girl should read before high school.

A childhood favourite!

I loved this book as a young teenager. Funny and worth a read.

I had to read this book in the dark with a flashlight and a blanket over me. I didn't want my mother to think I had questions about religion.

She does so, not out of a conviction that they are right, but because it is easy and it is what she has always...more

An interesting read, particularly for the way it portrays adolescent girls, but the message about "choosing for yourself" in regards to religion is undermined by the fact that Margaret ultimately flees from the choice and stays with the status quo -- ie: what her parents taught her. She does so, not out of a conviction that they are right, but because it is easy and it is what she has always known. What is, in effect, the CONSERVATIVE nature of its supposedly earnest and progressive narrative is really what stuck with me most. Perhaps I might have gotten more out of it had i read it when i was a kid, or had I been female?   hide

My favorite for adolescent girls.
