While Judy Blume is one of the most popular authors of young adult fiction in American history, she is also one of the most banned. Inside this biography Kathleen Tracy explores the life and career of Judy Blume, one of the most successful-and most controversial-authors of twentieth century.
Kathleen Tracy is a Los Angeles-based journalist. She is the author of over 20 titles, including Elvis Presley: A Biography (2006).
The book's introduction is an excellent discussion of book
censorship, and since Judy Blume has often faced censorship in her
career she is a good spokesperson. This biography is told in an
adult voice and describes her childhood, her vivid imagination, and
memory….The author's writing style is refreshingly mature; her
coverage of Judy Blume has depth. The book was hard to put down,
and will appeal to high school students and adults. It is an
inspiration to those who want to be authors. Recommended.
