Margaret is thrilled that things are starting to go super nice and she gets more excited when she becomes part of their secret girl’s club where they get to talk about anything like boys, getting their first period, bras, and similar. Like any other kid, she is anxious to start from scratch in her new home as she meets her first friends, Nancy, Gretchen and Janie and tries to simply fit in with them. Margaret is your typical kid that likes her long hair, the taste of tuna fish, the lovely and fresh smell of rain, and the color pink. Her name is, well you guessed it, Margaret and she has just moved from New York City to Farbook, New Jersey. Let’s dive into the fantasy mind of Judy with this phenomenal book about a girl that is just about to turn twelve. So, having cleared out the introduction to Blume, let’s find out what some of the best books from Judy Blume are.

You will find her fictional stories and characters to be very memorable and that there is nothing out of the ordinary with what she writes about. What this means is that she isn’t afraid to write about topics that are considered taboo such as masturbation and teen sex, but when we put aside what some critics say, she has still managed to sell more than 82 million copies worldwide and get her content translated into 32 different languages.

One thing we can surely say about Judy is that she isn’t afraid to speak her mind in order to make sure her stories live up their full potential.
