Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret by Judy Blume
Are you there God? It’s Me Margaret. I know you all must think I’m insane to read this again after 30 plus years (probably 40, but who’s counting, really?). Yet, Ms. Blume has let go of her well-known hold on the movie rights to this gem, and soon we’ll see Margaret’s struggle with pre-teen issues…
