Margaret Simon, almost twelve, likes long hair, tuna fish, the smell of rain, and things that are pin. She's just moved from New York City to the suburbs, and she's anxious to fit in with her new friends, so when they form a secret club to talk about boys, bras, and getting their first periods, Margaret is happy to belong. But none of them can believe Margaret doesn't have a religion. And Margaret can't tell them the truth: that she can talk to God anyway, about everything that's on her mind--including Philip Leroy, the best-looking boy in sixth grade.

Margaret is funny and real. So are her most personal thoughts and feelings. --back cover

Review of "Are you there god? It's me Margaret." on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I loved this book when I was about 11 or 12 years old and on the verge of puberty. I planned to re-read it before passing it to my own 11 year old daughter, but she had gotten hold of it and raced to the end before I managed to. And she loved it too! I'm glad it hasn't dated too badly and is still very relatable for young girls (and the descriptions of sanitary products has been updated). I can't believe my little girl will be going through this phase of her life soon cries
