About This Book
If anyone tried to determine the most common rite of passage for preteen girls
in North America, a girl's first reading of Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret
would rank near the top of the list. Judy Blume and her character Margaret Simon
were the first to say out loud (and in a book even) that it is normal for girls
to wonder when they are ever going to fill out their training bras. Puberty is a
curious and annoying time. Girls' bodies begin to do freakish things--or, as in
Margaret's case, they don't do freakish things nearly as fast as girls wish they
would. Adolescents are often so relieved to discover that someone understands
their body-angst that they miss one of the book's deeper explorations: a young
person's relationship with God. Margaret has a very private relationship with
God, and it's only after she moves to New Jersey and hangs out with a new friend
that she discovers that it might be weird to talk to God without a priest or a
rabbi to mediate. Margaret just wants to fit in! Who is God, and where is He
when she needs Him? She begins to look into the cups of her training bra for
answers ...
