Meet Margaret. She's going through all the same things most teenage girls have to face: fitting in, friendship, and first bras.

Life isn't easy for Margaret. She's moved away from her childhood home, she's starting a new school, finding new friends—and she's convinced she's not normal. For a start, she hasn't got a clue whether she wants to be Jewish like her father or Christian like her mother. Everyone else seems really sure of who they are. And, worst of all, she's a 'late developer'. She just knows that all her friends are going to need a bra before she does. It's too embarrassing to talk to her parents about these things. So she talks to God instead—and waits for an answer.

This is a 50th anniversary of Judy Blume's bestselling classic teen novel, Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret featuring a fresh, contemporary cover look and a letter from the author.
