Let's reread or read for the first time this childhood classic by Judy Blume, "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret?" We will discuss how the book affected our lives and views of censorship, and discuss the book in general.

Margaret Simon, almost twelve, has just moved from New York City to the suburbs, and she's anxious to fit in with her new friends. When she's asked to join a secret club she jumps at the chance. But when the girls start talking about boys, bras, and getting their first periods, Margaret starts to wonder if she's normal. There are some things about growing up that are hard for her to talk about, even with her friends. Lucky for Margaret, she's got someone else to confide in . . . someone who always listens.

If you prefer, this title is available electronically.  Find the ebook or eaudio on Libby.
