Margaret Simon, almost twelve, has just moved from New York City to the suburbs, and she’s anxious to fit in with her new friends. When she’s asked to join a secret club she jumps at the chance. But when the girls start talking about boys, bras, and getting their first periods, Margaret starts to wonder if she’s normal. There are some things about growing up that are hard for her to talk about, even with her friends. Lucky for Margaret, she’s got someone else to confide in . . . someone who always listens.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
For those returning to this classic for the second (or 10th) time, we have excellent news: It’s still awesome. And for newcomers to this witty and sensitive exploration of adolescence—lucky you! Judy Blume’s 1970 YA novel follows 12-year-old Margaret as she moves with her family from New York City to New Jersey and attempts to do the impossible: navigate her new suburban existence while juggling middle school, first crushes, peer pressure, and parental expectations. Thanks to Blume’s signature warmth and wry humor, Margaret’s story is as apt today as it was decades ago.

Judy Blume's body of work returns to her original editor, Richard Jackson, with the rerelease of four classics in hardcover. An African-American family moves to all-white Grove Street in Iggie's House, to be released in April. The author's breakthrough title, Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, about 11-year old Margaret Simon's struggles with puberty and religion, is now available in hardcover as well as in a Spanish-language edition, Estas ahi Dios? Soy yo, Margaret. Two additional titles came out last season: Blubber takes on preteen teasing; and It's Not the End of the World explores the effects of divorce.
