Luckily, among Judy Blume's catalog of books, there's one for every reader and occasion. It's Me, Margaret has spurred the most fervent fandom—and debate. The book is often banned by school districts for the same reasons that made it so refreshing: It frankly addresses issues that concern pre-teen girls, like puberty, existential questions, and social conflict.
The book begins when year-old Margaret moves to the 'burbs with her family, and must navigate a new social scene—luckily, she finds "Pre Teen Sensations," her new clique. First love is thrilling—and it's also terrifying. Forever captures the highs and lows of a first relationship in detail. But it's the book's fearless depiction of sex that rendered it a controversial classic.
For many, Katherine Danzinger and Michael Wagner's relationship was an introduction to the arc of a romantic relationship in high school—and that not all "forevers" last forever. Tiger Eyes is a testament to Blume's bravery as an author—she writes about teenagers in difficult situations, because real teenagers often are.
Davey, the book's protagonist, is bereft after her father is killed in a hold-up. Her family relocates to New Mexico, where her mother's battle with alcoholism worsens. Davey finds consolation in a friendship with Wolf, who is dying of cancer.
While Tiger Eyes ' s premise is tough, the message is one of hope and resilience. It's Me, Margaret , but told from the perspective of a teenage boy. Like Margaret, twelve-year-old Tony Miglione is in for a shock when his family moves from their Italian-American, working class neighborhood in Jersey City to a much wealthier town.
At the same time Tony's mother becomes fixated with impressing their new neighbors, Tony is on an inwards journey. Summer Sisters is the kind of book you can tear through in a day. Caitlin Somers and Victoria Leonard's decades-long friendship begins on Martha's Vineyard in the summer of Every summer, Victoria pretends she's part of Caitlin's privileged set.
As adults, the distance between their lifestyles means their friendship fades—until the day Caitlin asks Victoria to return to the Vineyard and be her maid of honor.
Memories of their last pivotal summer are there to haunt them both. Peter deals with his two-year-old younger brother, Fudge, who unleashes disaster at every turn. How many books did Judy Blume make? What age are Judy Blume books aimed at?
