As one of the first authors for young adult readers to deal frankly with puberty, sex, and the confusion that surrounds adolescence, Judy Blume has inspired generations of teenagers with her life-changing books.

It’s Me Margaret, it’s impossible to resist Blume’s funny, awkward, and honest heroes and heroines as they try to navigate through life without too much collateral damage.
