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 ...

Judy Blume's bestselling classic teen novel, Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret features a fresh, contemporary cover look.
