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 ...Judy Blume has written some of the best books of our time about real-life issues - family stress and pressures, what happens when your parents divorce, the problems of growing up and sexual awakening, bereavement - with insight, sensitivity and honesty. The response of readers all around the world continues to make her one of the best-loved writers ever published.

Are you there, God? It's Me, Margaret, is quite simply a classic that every teenage girl should read. It's a story of friendship, of growing up and is told in a sensitive and caring way. Just an absolutely brilliant book.
Judy Blume knows what a teenager worries about and what they want to read. Funny and warm hearted, my daughter has just read this book and loved it as much as I did at her age. Margaret is a funny, likeable character, and her struggles to fit in with the crowd are just as relevent today as they were when this book was first published
this is a really funny book! while i cant remember exactly what it is about, it sticks out in my mind as one of my favourite books from my youth. judy blume really has left a legacy behind. i remember this book being very very funny, and margaret being a little odd, but likeable!
Though decades old now, Judy Blumes' work demonstrates magnificant insight into a young person's psyche making storylines both enjoyable and easy for young people to relate to. 'Are you there God? its me Margaret' is hilarious and timeless in its ability to sum up the trials and tribulations of a young girls life. Dealing with overwhelmingly embarrassing and challenging child/teen traumas, this will be hard to put down. brilliant.
