When I was in elementary school one year our teacher made us write to our favorite author and I wrote to Judy Blume. She wrote back and I kept the letter for years.
I love Summer Sisters and try to read it once a year. It always makes me cry, but I love it.
Just sharing!

My all time favorite Judy Blume book is "Just As Long As We're Together". That was my 1st book written by her. When I was young my mom used to work in a middle school reading class, so I got to hear her read it while she cassette recorded it for her students to listen as they read their own copies. After she was finished recording her reading, I borrowed her copy and read it twice.
That brought back some childhood memories.

I absolutely LOVED this book when I was younger. When I read it, I read it with my two best friends (at the time). We pretended like were the three main characters. I still remember the girl had a crush and she named him "Benjamin Moore" after the paint. This brings back such good memories. I think I'll venture over to amazon or half.com to relive my memories.

it had to be "Are you there God...." and then it had to be "Forever"! Those two books sum up the exp. were my junior high yrs back inthe early 80s. We would all gather around and swap out books of her to read!

Judy Blume is classic. I received the "Fudge" boxed set for Christmas this year, and I've read them all over again. What great books.

My favorites were:
Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret
Blubber
Just As Long As We're Together
Then Again, Maybe I Won't (still have this one)
Tiger Eyes (ditto)
