She's going through all the same things most teenage girls have to face; fitting in, friendship and first bras. Life isn't easy for Margaret. She's moved away from her childhood home, she's starting a new school, finding new friends – and she's convinced she's not normal. For a start she hasn't got a clue whether she wants to be Jewish like her father or Christian like her mother. Everyone else seems really sure of who they are. And, worst of all, she's a 'late developer'. She just knows that all her friends are going to need a bra before she does. It's too embarrassing to talk to her parents about these things. So she talks to God instead – and waits for an answer . . .For use in schools and libraries only. For Margaret, growing up is a fearful yet exciting prospect.

Literature Review from the year 2015 in the subject Sociology - Children and Youth, grade: 99.0, Winthrop University, course: Children's Literature, language: English, abstract: This paper sets out to examine the controversial issues of the book "Are You there God? It's me Margaret," and the level suitable for reading. The book by Judy Blume (1970), takes on a humorous and insightful journey through the pubescent stage of twelve year old Margaret Simon's life. We hear all her private thoughts about what goes on in her life and what she would rather happen in her life. While Blume's book, is an profound and comical read for pre-teen girls, I believe that students in fifth grade and higher should be able to read the book. While the language of the book is simple for the reading level of a third grader (Titlewave), the content is too mature for them and should be selected for older, preteen students who understand and are in the midst of going through those stages in life.Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

Excerpt: Then Again, Maybe I Won't is a young adult novel written by Judy Blume. Intended for pre-teens and teenagers, the novel deals with puberty from a male perspective as well as the other trials of growing up. Judy Blume claimed that she was inspired to write the story following the success of her preceding novel Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. Given her earlier novel was about a girl entering puberty making the transition to womanhood, she decided to write one about a boy going through puberty and making a transition to manhood. Tony Miglione and his working-class family live in Jersey City, New Jersey. When his older brother Ralph and his wife Angie announce they are having a baby but lack money to care for the child, Tony's parents offer to help.
