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.

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.

Even though I am a teenage guy, I still enjoyed the book. It was realistic, emotional, and sometimes funny. I think that everyone should read it (but guys shouldn't tell others if they do).

Slight wear on the binding, yellowing pages.. but otherwise perfect condition. It's only been read once and stored in the basement on a book shelf.
