Book Review
Short Summary
Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret was written by Judy Blume in the 70’s and has become a crowd favourite over the years. It has been updated since the original release, with a more tech-savvy approach that current tweens can better relate to.
What This Book Is About
- Growing up with a Christian mum and a Jewish dad
- Boys, bras and menstruation and how she isn’t developing as quickly as her peers
- Being self-conscious and how she observes her peer’s behaviours and actions
- Dealing with family issues and conflicts
Reflection and Comments
There’s a very good reason why this book has been a hit since it was first released. Margaret’s words on those pages echo the thoughts of any adolescents going through physical, emotional, and social changes.
It also helps that the book shows how Margaret struggles to find her own identity and find clarity in what beliefs she wants to have. It does show that Margaret resumes her conversations with God later on, giving readers a good lesson on how they can be flexible and change their minds especially when it comes to things that could affect the way they see the world.
We also love how it talks about Margaret’s insecurities. It gives the lesson that everybody’s unique and that these differences make you special.
