Book Description:
Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret



No one ever told Margaret Simon that eleven-going-on- twelve would be such a hard age.  When her family moves to New Jersey, she has to adjust to life in the suburbs, a different school, and a whole new group of friends.  Margaret knows she needs someone to talk to about growing up-and it's not long before she's found a solution.



Are you there God?  It's me, Margaret. I can't wait until two o'clock God.  That's when our dance starts.  Do you think I'll get Philip Leroy for a partner?  It's not so much that I like him as a person God, but as a boy he's very handsome.  And I'd love to dance with him... just once or twice.  Thank you God.

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.

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.

Margaret Simon just moved to New Jersey where she has to start life all over again meaning meeting new friends, a new school, and a different way of life. To get through it all Margaret talks to God about growing into a young woman.


Good for young girls growing up.
