| Master Fan ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Judy Blume appreciation This is to discuss Judy Blume and her novels: The One in the Middle is the Green Kangaroo Iggie's House Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret Then Again, Maybe I Won't Freckle Juice It's Not the End of the World Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great Deenie Blubber Forever Starring Sally J. Freedman as Herself Wifey Superfudge Tiger Eyes The Judy Blume Diary Smart Women The Pain and the Great One Letters to Judy: WHat Kids Wish They Could Tell You Just As Long As We're Together The Judy Blume Memory Book Fudge-A-Mania Here's to You, Rachel Robinson Summer Sisters Places I Never Meant to Be Summer sisters was my favorite book. I also liked Starring Sally J. Freedman as herslef. All of her books were really good. I remember reading Tales of a Fourth Grade nothing a long time ago and felt so bad when Fudge ate Peters(?) turtle. __________________ "Keep in mind, Were under the same sky, And the nights, As empty for me as for you." |Dawson♥Joey|Lucas♥Peyton|Nathan♥Haley|Dylan♥Brenda| -Sarah | |||

| I loved reading Judy Blume's books as I was growing up. Particularly: Tiger eyes, Are you there God?..., and Letters to Judy..., and Forever. Not only good stories, but really good, informative books for girls growing up ![]() __________________ I think the world may just surprise you yet.

| I loved Judy Blume's young adult novels. They were so helpful growing up. I also loved Judy Blume's adult novels as well - Wifey (which was shocking to me that Judy Blume wrote it), and Summer Sisters. __________________ Avie by iconseeyou | |||

| I thought I'd read most of her books, but looking at that list.. no. *rushes to look for the others* My favorite would definitely be the Fudge series. And Starring Sally J. ... is such a wonderfully beautiful book. ![]() For two years, all I would read was Judy Blume books. ![]() __________________ icon credit I Landry Clarke | |||

| Wifey? Hadn't seen that one, will kepp my eye out. I did read Summer Sisters (just last year in fact - we have a charity book shelf at work and so I paid 10p for it!). I'll be honest and say my memories of Judy Blume books from when I was younger seemed better to me than Summer Sisters. Just IMO ![]() __________________ I think the world may just surprise you yet.

| Passionate Fan ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I read a few of Blume's books, but by the time her series was in my school library I was a bit ahead of them and I think I was reading War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells and things like that. But in general, I liked what I read. I know I read Freckle Juice and a few others. __________________ Come stop by the Books Board for a visit. 148.94 million square kilometers on the face of the Earth, and I plan on walking every single one of them!

| Love, love, love Judy Blume. My favorites are the Fudge series, Sheila the Great, Are you there God, and Blubber. There were characters in each book I could relate to. Judy Blume is an absolute prize. | |||
