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.

As Margaret adjusts to her family's move from New York City to a suburb in New Jersey, she chats with God about her insecurities and dreams. Laura Hamilton gives Margaret, the narrator of Judy Blume's popular novel, a convincing sixth-grader's voice-one that is perky and enthusiastic at one time and questioning and uncertain at another time. Upbeat and entertaining, this production is a perfect match of author and narrator. If listeners aren't already Judy Blume fans, they will be after enjoying this audiobook. C.R.A.

Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret
No one ever told Margaret Simon that eleven-going-on- twelve would be such a hard age. When her family moves to New Jersey, she has to adjust to life in the suburbs, a different school, and a whole new group of friends. Margaret knows she needs someone to talk to about growing up-and it's not long before she's found a solution.
Are you there God? It's me, Margaret. I can't wait until two o'clock God. That's when our dance starts. Do you think I'll get Philip Leroy for a partner? It's not so much that I like him as a person God, but as a boy he's very handsome. And I'd love to dance with him... just once or twice. Thank you God.

This book is a really good book. Judy Blume has a way of writing that is unlike anything else. In this book Margaret moves to a new town, where she meats 3 very nice girls, who turn out to be good friends except for one problem; these girl are all into growing up, getting their periods, and having thier breasts develope. Margaret feals emabarresed because she is still "flat" and she doesn't feal like she is going to start her period any time soon. Margaret decides to talk to God about her troubles. She talks to him like a friend and it helps her.
One day Margaret is invited to a party, by a boy in her class who really likes her. He invited the whole class, when Margaret and her 3 friends arrive the boy decides to play "Spin the bottle". When the boys get tired of that game they decide to play "2 Minutes in the Closet". Margaret doesn't feal ready to kiss any one, but what is she supposed to do?
This book is very funny, but I wouldn't recomend it to anyone younger than 10. It deals with a lot of growing up, and puberty. It could scare anyone younger than 10, and make them afrade of growing up. My mom and I have talked about this kind of thing, and this book just helped me to be even more prepared. I think any girl who is nervouse becuase they're still "flat" or they are afraid of not growing up quickly enough, should read this book, that way they can comfort their fears and be reassured that their body has this under control! |

This book was one of my favourites. As a growing, twelve year old girl, I naturally love books that have anything related to growing up, uncomfortable issues, and especially boys. Judy wrote it in such a way that I became friends with Margaret. I totally related to all the issues and questions Margaret had. She was so much like a real girl that I felt so close to her that I even got embarrased by the situations she got herself into. This book was way more entertaining than any t.v. show I have ever seen. I hope Judy can write a sequal, or similar book to this one, because it was very fun to read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. |

"Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret" was a great novel on a girl growing up.
11 year old Margaret Simon has just moved to a new town and a school, where she starts 6th grade. She's happy to belong to a club called the "Pre Teen Sensations" where she and her friends worry about bras, boys, and bodies. Margaret also struggles with her grandparent's beliefs that she should have a religion, choosing between Christian and Jewish, and she decides to do her year long school report on it.
This was a great, realistic novel that was often very funny, and I'd recommend it for ages 11 and up! I'd also recommend "Deenie", by Judy Blume, and especially the "Alice" series by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
