Judy Blume got me through puberty...ok, quite some time ago!! Her books are excellent for the young girls of the world who need to know that their feelings are not unusual or abnormal, they are just part of growing up.

I loved this book in Middle School. It's about a girl with scholiosis that has to wear a back brace and all the issues that go with wearing the thing. Good book, nice little love story in there too.

This was a very enjoyable book. Good for many teens to read.

I read in an interview of Judy Blume years ago that THIS was her most-banned book, which surprised me a bit. I loved it as much as all her other books--I read all her books at least twice between 4th & 7th grade. It's a bit dated with the medical procedures & such, but I would still highly recommend it to any girl/boy who has scholiosis or a similar condition.

Great book for a young reader! I read it when I was young and then passed it onto my niece. She loved it!
