Every teenage girl should have a copy

This has to be the best 'find' of 2008 for me (or, more precisely, for my daughter). Blume has successfully tapped into the teenage coming-of-age mind and tackled so many feelings of inadequacy, humiliation, insecurity, loneliness, fear ... This is a really clever book that every young teenager will be able to get something from. There are so many answers there - to questions that the young teenager might not want to ask - or to things that they haven't even realised are problems. My daughter hasn't stopped talking about this book and how much she got out of it. One of those gems ...

This book is a fantasic read for pre-teens, I read it when I was about 11 years old and I have never forgotton it! I'm now 38! It was the first Judy Blume book I had read and couldn't put it down, it was amazing how the writer was so tuned into what I was thinking at the time. I went on to read all Judy Blume's books, impatiently waiting for the books to come into the library, waiting expectantly for a new title to appear. I can truly recommend this book, you won't be disappointed.

I have read this book until the middle of it self, but there isn't a spark. It is nice but... I think it helps me laugh and get over period... I have stopped reading it for now but I think that I'll continue it today.

I read this when I was 10 and never forgot it
|
I read this book when I was 10, and couldn't put it down. I wasn't exactly an avid reader at that age, but it just drew me in and changed everything for me. I didn't forget it. It taught me things I was too shy to ask about, and was almost a friend to a 10 year old girl who was slightly confused about periods, boys, bras etc. but was also very intrigued and wanted to find out more.
I went on to read all the Judy Blume books, but not before I read this one a few times over. It warmly introduced me to a world that I wasn't quite sure how to ask about.
If you know any girls aged between about 8-13 definitely get them this. I'm sure they'll love it, and like me won't forget it.
This book will always have a special place in my heart!

This book is about a girl who goes to live in new jersey. I thought it was fantastic. It helps me with my fear of having a period. It was very humourous to read. I would recomend it to people having/getting their period.
