Are You There, God? Still relevant today.
Dianna N. - 6 years ago#BannedBooks. I read this book a long time ago, but it is still relevant. Young ladies will always question if they are normal, why is something happening to their body or not happening. This is a great story to help a young girl through a difficult time.

A tender story about a girl who faces life's challenges

It is a classic as it challenges girls to be their wonderful unique selves. Margaret, the main character is like any girl who questions life as she develops in to a young women.

A must read for every generation of girls
Karen D. - 6 years agoWhen I was in 4th grade a well worn copy of this book was passed from girl to girl with a passage about Margaret’s first period. We all read, nodded sagely and passed it along. I had no idea what I read. When I asked my Mom... well, a conversation starter for sure. This was the first book I read that had a community effect and one that cried out for conversation. I know it lead to my love of book discussions and group reads. Judy Bloom was such a formative writer in my adolescence I still remember her books clearly over 40 years later.

Love yourself!!!!!
Isabella S. - 6 years agoMy mom bought me this book the summer before middle school and told to read it. She herself had read the book and loved it. It's a coming of age story about finding yourself.
