About Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret

Dive into the relatable world of Margaret Simon, a sixth-grader grappling with the universal challenges of growing up. Author Judy Blume masterfully captures the awkwardness and excitement of adolescence as Margaret navigates a new town, a new school, and the ever-present quest for belonging. From the anxieties of fitting in with new friends and the anticipation of getting her first bra, to the deeper questions of identity and faith, Margaret's journey resonates with readers of all ages.

Margaret finds herself caught between her parents' differing religious backgrounds, unsure whether she wants to be Jewish or Christian, and feeling like everyone else has their life figured out. As a 'late developer' among her peers, she confides her most personal thoughts and worries to God, seeking guidance and understanding through these formative years. This beloved classic by Judy Blume explores themes of friendship, self-discovery, and the often-humorous struggles of puberty, making it an essential read for young adults in Malta and Gozo.
