BEST BOOK EVER
I am just starting sixth grade and my mom suggested this book. I read it in two days and I absolutely love it. I reccomend it for all girls from ages 11 to 100!!!You can really relate to all of the troubles that Margaret goes through.

Do not read if.....

Instead of reaching its goal, this book merely made me feel more outside than any other. I was a scared 14 year old, growing up more slowly than anyone else, and in the book it says that the mother would take her to the doctor if she didn't have it by fourteen. That made me cry for hours just because I felt so abnormal. A way that Judy Blume could have helped her book, is not putting any age labels, which I thought was the book's downfall. I also found it very upsetting when the girl 'pitys' the girl who hadn't gotten hers yet.Show Less

Good to force.
I admit that at first the only reason I got this book was like the main character my name is Margaret. But, after reading the whole book, cover to cover, I actually really liked it. Sure at points you can sense the awkwardness of it but besides that it was a fun read, and good to force on your friends.

TIMELESS CLASSIC! The last time I read this book, I was a child
TIMELESS CLASSIC! The last time I read this book, I was a child. I recently re-read several Judy Blume books. As an adult, this book still touched my heart and I still took something away from it having been able to see it as an adult. Worth the read no matter what your age!

Best book for girls!
When I was younger before I read this I was nervous about it and didn¿t know how good it would be or if it would be an uncomfortable book to read. But this book surprised me and ended up being a fantastic book, Judy Blume has never written a book I didn¿t like. This is one of those books every girl should read VERY VERY VERY relatable and helpful.

Loved it! ;)
This book is an excellent classic that I read in fourth grade. Two years later, I feel the urge to encourage people to pick up this heartwarming book. Margret discovers who she really is. If you enjoy self enpowerment, get it. If not, don't.
Sincerely,
A sixth grade bookworm.4 out of 4 people found this review helpful.

One do pass on for all future female generations!
I read this book over 30 years ago, and my 11 year old, who has had a really hard time warming up to reading just finished it and absolutely loved it!! She is searching for other books to read that she can relate to as well as she did this one!! I saw her attitude toward reading do a complete flip-flop. I recall loving this book and being totally involved in the character of Margaret. Having gone to a catholic elementary school, I connected to the prayer focus in the book quite well. This is definitely a book for us all to pass on to our preteen girls who have such a hard time with life today.

Judy Blume Rocks!!
Blume, Judy. Are You There God It¿s Me Margaret. New York. Bantam Double Day Dell Publishing Group Inc. 1986 Are You There God It¿s Me Margaret by Judy Blume was the first book which I can remember reading by myself. It is a humorous yet realistic look at a young girl as she becomes a teen. Margaret Simon has reluctantly moved from New York City to the suburbs with her parents, leaving behind her friend and confident¿.her Grandmother. Margaret finds solace in talking to God about everything from boys to not wearing socks with her penny loafers. Each time she addresses God, Margaret says, ¿Are you there God, it me Margaret.¿ She has a conversation such as when she says, ¿I met a girl today named Nancy. She expected me to be very grown up,¿ Blume adds humor and candor to the plight of adolescence. In her new town, Margaret forms a ¿club¿ called ¿the four PTS¿s¿ which stands for ¿Pre Teen Sensations¿ with Nancy, Gretchen and Janie. The club has a rule which states, ¿The first one to get her period had to tell all the others about it. Especially how it feels.¿ This exemplifies the humor with which the trials of puberty are addressed in this story. This book is a ¿must read¿ for any girl from fourth grade up to high school. Judy Blume grew up in Elizabeth, New Jersey, creating stories in her head. As she became an adult, she has lived in many different places, she now writes her stories on paper. Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret Superfudge Blubber Just As Long As We're Together and Forever are widely recognize books, not only by children but also by adults. Her books have sold more than 75 million copies. Blume¿s books have been translated into more than twenty languages. Judy Blume has won more than ninety awards for her writing. In 1961 the American Library Association honored Blume with the Margaret A. Edwards Award for Lifetime Achievement. Judy earned her B.S. in Education from New York University Blume founded The Kids Fund, which is a charitable and educational foundation. In her spare time Blume serves on the boards of the Author's Guild the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators and the National Coalition Against Censorship, working to protect intellectual freedom. Recently, she edited Places I Never Meant To Be, Original Stories by Censored Writers. Judy lives on Martha¿s Vineyard on the East Coast with her husband George Cooper, who writes nonfiction. They have three grown children and one grandchild.
