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

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.

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.

One of the best books that I have read for girls 11-12 years old. I just shared it with one of my neighbor's daughter who is 11 going on 12 and she loved it as well. Timeless, seems like the story of being a girl at that age is the same whether you are 42 like me or 11 like her :)

Great coming of age book! Gives a great connection to a young girl trying to fit in at a very awkward age. I highly recommend this read for any girl ages 10 to 100! :)

A re-read from my childhood for a book club square! Written in 1970, still relevant after all of these years. The 4 PTS's in 6th grade (Margaret, Janie, Gretchen, & Nancy) facing situations. Margaret is struggling with religion, boys, growing boobs, & menstruation. Constantly talking to God she questions her place & Him.

Margaret is moving from New York to New Jersey. Her father grew up Jewish and her mother grew up Christian. Her parents are raising Margaret with no set religion, saying that she can make that choice as an adult.
Margaret starts making friends and attends 6th grade at her school. She becomes part of a secret club of four girls. She gets a new male teacher. She talks to God.

This is a really cute read about a young girl growing up and learning.
