This book is a rite of passage- every adolescent girl MUST READ this book. By law. My law.

All I could remember from reading this when I was a kid was "We must, we must, we must increase our bust" and Margaret being the last among her friends to get her period. Turns out, this book is about religion: Margaret's parents have raised her without religion but her grandmother encourages her to be a practicing Jew.

This is a great book for pre-teens

I read this as a prepubescent teenage girl. It was great. It talked a lot in detail about the mysteries of our changing female bodies and how to deal with other girls who are maturing faster or slower than you. Great read , even today for 11-14 year old girls.

This is a great book that I read to my niece quite some time ago. It's geared toward young girls in early adolescence. I read it again and it was still great! Now I've listed it here at PBS.

As a girl I loved this book. I always thought if I had a girl that I would be very proud to share this hilarious book about growing up as a girl. Now I have 2 boys, oh well, maybe I'll have a granddaughter to share this book with!

When you are very young age, like me, it makes you think that you are not alone, you are not the only un-perfect one and Marget gives an exellent example of that.
