Loading... Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret (1970)by Judy Blume
A classic coming-of-age story that still stays with me, even though I read it over 15 years ago. (  ) hopefully86 | May 1, 2013 |  Margaret is at an age where everything is very confusing and she has a million questions about life. She wonders about what religion to choose, how to get boys' attention, and when will she fill in her bra. This is an iconic book that is perfect for girls in grades 4-8. Puberty is one of the strangest periods in a girl's life and this book offers sanctuary to those dealing with so many changes. Lizziep | Apr 27, 2013 | I read a Withdrawn library copy of this when I was about thirteen and didn't understand what was going on half the time? Why did you need a belt for your sanitary... business? And what in god's name was a training bra? And who in god's name was excited about their periods? I am not equipped to judge what this book was in its context, but out of context, it was sweet, but largely bland. (  ) heterocephalusglaber | Apr 26, 2013 | A quick, flowing read with endearing characters who are all-too-real, complete with strengths and foibles, mistakes and triumphs. The book deals openly with girls hitting puberty and how they adjust to their changing bodies, crushes, and friends. Even though the book is now more than 40 years old, the themes are remarkably relevant, perhaps even more relevant as religious nonaffiliation continues to rise. (  ) sschreur | Apr 20, 2013 | I loved this book when I was a child. I felt so connected to Margaret and was also very curious about her religion. Reading this again I felt like I was connecting with an old friend. nd I was reminded how difficult it is to be a child stepping into adulthood. Will always treasure this book.
