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

Soon to be a major motion picture!
A Time Best YA Book of All Time (2021)

Margaret shares her secrets and her spirituality in this iconic Judy Blume novel, beloved by millions.

Margaret Simon, almost twelve, likes long hair, tuna fish, the smell of rain, and things that are pink. She's just moved from New York City to Farbook, New Jersey, and is anxious to fit in with her new friends-Nancy, Gretchen, and Janie. When they form a secret club to talk about private subjects like boys, bras, and getting their first periods, Margaret is happy to belong.

But none of them can believe Margaret doesn't have religion, and that she isn't going to the Y or the Jewish Community Center. What they don't know is Margaret has her own very special relationship with God. She can talk to God about everything-family, friends, even Moose Freed, her secret crush.

Margaret is funny and real. As you read her story, you'll know why this book has been the favorite of millions of readers. It's as if Margaret is talking right to you, sharing her secrets with a friend.

I purchased this book because I wanted to read it before the movie comes out in April. I plan to see it. I am reading it right now. It is funny, and I can relate, growing up in the 60s amd 70s. Thank you!
Wish I’d had access to his book in 5th grade. Could have avoided lots of suffering. Very true to life. Done well. Written simply for a 5th grader but the real life humor is good enough for an adult.
