Publication: Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret

• Blume, Judy

Young adult fiction.

Faced with the difficulties of growing up and choosing a
religion, a twelve-year-old girl talks over her problems
with her own private God.

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.
