This is an endearing story about a young sixth-grader who is on a journey to discover her identity. Margaret explores religion, spirituality, and sexuality, as she deals with the typical pre-teen calamities that ensue for young girls. Despite the controversy that once surrounded this novel, I think it’s a great book for young girls who are struggling with the pressures of growing up and figuring out who they are. I think many girls can relate to Margaret, and will find comfort in her story. ( )

This is a book about a girl who is going through puberty and trying to figure out who she is. She talks to God all the time as she tries to figure what religion she is and who she is as a person. Her friends are only worried about boys and their periods, so she talks to God to try and work it all out.

even though this is obviously subject matter for older kids, I first read this book when I was about 10 or 11 and it was extremely applicable to my life at that time. In reading it again I was taken back to that time in my life and how absolutely IMPORTANT and DEVASTATING everything feels to a kid that age. This book is a must read for every young girl. ( )

This is a wonderful book for a young girl who is coming into her own body and learning about life's difficulties and struggles of grwoing up. Margaret fights to have a preivate relationship with God as she meets 3 new friends whose main concerns are boy, bras, and their periods. This is a good read for young girls heading into junior high and about to face many new challenges and decisions.

Book description

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0440404193, Paperback)

If anyone tried to determine the most common rite of passage for preteen girls in North America, a girl's first reading of Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret would rank near the top of the list. Judy Blume and her character Margaret Simon were the first to say out loud (and in a book even) that it is normal for girls to wonder when they are ever going to fill out their training bras. Puberty is a curious and annoying time. Girls' bodies begin to do freakish things--or, as in Margaret's case, they don't do freakish things nearly as fast as girls wish they would. Adolescents are often so relieved to discover that someone understands their body-angst that they miss one of the book's deeper explorations: a young person's relationship with God. Margaret has a very private relationship with God, and it's only after she moves to New Jersey and hangs out with a new friend that she discovers that it might be weird to talk to God without a priest or a rabbi to mediate. Margaret just wants to fit in! Who is God, and where is He when she needs Him? She begins to look into the cups of her training bra for answers ...
