This is one of my favourite books of all time! - Rated
This book is a fantasic read for pre-teens, I read it when I was about 11 years old and I have never forgotton it! I'm now 38! It was the first Judy Blume book I had read and couldn't put it down, it was amazing how the writer was so tuned into what I was thinking at the time. I went on to read all Judy Blume's books, impatiently waiting for the books to come into the library, waiting expectantly for a new title to appear. I can truly recommend this book, you won't be disappointed.

I have read this book until the middle of it self, but there isn't a spark. It is nice but... I think it helps me laugh and get over period... I have stopped reading it for now but I think that I'll continue it today.

I read this when I was 10 and never forgot it - Rated
I read this book when I was 10, and couldn't put it down. I wasn't exactly an avid reader at that age, but it just drew me in and changed everything for me. I didn't forget it. It taught me things I was too shy to ask about, and was almost a friend to a 10 year old girl who was slightly confused about periods, boys, bras etc. but was also very intrigued and wanted to find out more.

I went on to read all the Judy Blume books, but not before I read this one a few times over. It warmly introduced me to a world that I wasn't quite sure how to ask about.

If you know any girls aged between about 8-13 definitely get them this. I'm sure they'll love it, and like me won't forget it.

This book will always have a special place in my heart!

This book is about a girl who goes to live in new jersey. I thought it was fantastic. It helps me with my fear of having a period. It was very humourous to read. I would recomend it to people having/getting their period.

Fantastic book for the pre-teens - Rated
I first read this book when I was about 11. At the time I was going through all the usual "growing up" experiences and desperately wanted to be a woman, well before my time. This excellent book by Judy Blume gave me the insight that being a woman, will come at its own natural pace, and of course I didn't have to wait very long. It's lighted hearted ways of dealing with normal pre-teen problems, which come with all the highs and lows in life, is so meaningful and so poignant. I still have the book, which I read only a few months ago.
Even 20 years later, it's still a fantastic read, and took me back to being a child again. Well done Judy Blume for keeping me a sane 11 year old!!
