![]() ![]() I first read “Are You There God, It’s Me Margaret?” in the early 1980s, and there’s something enchanting about the fact that kids today are also turning the same pages as generations before. She has a knack for remembering what it was like to be trapped in the hell of adolescence, and she speaks for kids and teens in a way that many grown ups never could. With a career that has spanned multiple decades, Blume has always been an author who identified with kids more than adults. The legendary writer is the subject of the her own documentary “Judy Blume Forever,” an entertaining, warm film about Blume’s professional and personal life, as well as her legacy as the most censored children’s book author of all-time. ![]() I still look back fondly and can relive how it felt like the author really understood what it was like to be me. It’s a rite of passage that most of us remember: the time when we read our first Judy Blume book. ![]()
