I'm about 10 years late to reading this book but it was fun.
A cult YA classic for Jersey girls of a certain age. Very valuable for menstrual demystification.
I heard an NPR report on the right of an African business owner to force women employees to strip. If "sanitary" articles were uncovered, the women had to work in isolation. THIS WAS A FEW WEEKS AGO IN 2023. They should have read Judy Blume.

For the “A favorite book from your childhood” prompt on the SBC Summer Bingo Reading Challenge, I chose to reread this classic, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret by Judy Blume! I loved this book growing up and it’s brought back so many emotions as I am reacquainted with my favorite (and not so favorite) characters! It perfectly captures the confusion girls go through as preteens. What a joy this book is!
Judy Blume’s Are You There God, It’s Me Margaret is nothing short of amazing. It is uncommon for a middle-grade novel to pull such strings and achieve it’s intention.
This was a strange book. Honestly, I think it was more about religion than her need for puberty. This book starts with her being told be her new friend that puberty is SO important & ends with her getting her period. A little funny, a lot stupid. I think this is probably about the author, in a way.

Good book for a 6th grade girl. Highly recommend for girls starting puberty. I also recommend that moms read this first or with their daughters to start life discussions.
I like to pre-read books like this for my daughter to ensure there isn't anything I should be concerned about. And also to know what kind of things she may start asking. It helps with context to make the conversations easier. Some topics may not seem like much to us as adults are actually hard for young girls to talk about, such as: periods, getting books, bullying, liking boys, etc. Discussing in the hypothetical, like what happened in the book, helps ease the conversation.
