a fantastic book submitted by sophas on June 15, 2012, 11:59am Margaret moves to New Jersey and joins a club called the 4 PTS's. in the club they talk about growing up. Margaret also has a private relationship with God. This book is good for girls to read when they're in grades 5 - 8. It is a very well written book.

good submitted by 04foremanh on July 9, 2012, 6:03pm well written and funny

A classic submitted by KOH on August 12, 2017, 7:38pm A good story for a girl to read and discuss with an adult afterward.

Coming of age submitted by Aimless on July 24, 2019, 3:29pm I think this is a must read for middle school girls

Great! submitted by wysea on July 26, 2019, 2:31pm I remember reading this and being so glad that someone wrote a book about the changes girls experience.

Rite of passage submitted by ilenekroll on August 3, 2021, 2:59pm This book is such a great book for girls. Every girl goes through these feeling and changes when they are young. This book was so relatable to me when I was young .

Judy Blume delivers submitted by 21621031390949 on August 3, 2022, 6:30pm I’d never actually read this book, so when I saw it in my nearby Little Free Library, I picked it up. Obviously, it’s a quick and juvenile read for an adult, but it’s a good story for a Tween or even pre-tween. Judy Blume delivers for kids.

Classic submitted by JennJenn on July 30, 2023, 4:36am This was a childhood favorite. Classic Judy Blume addressing sensitive topics of being a girl going into adolescence.

Great story submitted by sarajowaycee on August 2, 2023, 6:54am I re-read this after seeing the movie and really enjoyed it. What great characters, and what relatable experiences. I can find Margaret all over my own life. Judy Bloom is incredible. I’m happy to report that the movie was faithful to the book!

I think I’m too old for this submitted by rshah on August 12, 2023, 4:52pm I never read this as a kid and, unfortunately, I did not enjoy it as an adult. I found Margaret insufferable with little character development. I kept waiting for her to realize one of her friends wasn’t a very good friend and it never happened. Her apologies for bad behavior felt insincere. I’m glad the book tackles important topics like menstruation and different views on religion, topics I would have appreciated as a child, but I think I need to be a child to really appreciate this story.
