Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.


Blume, J. (1970). Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. New York, NY: Yearling.

Brief Annotation: A 12-year old girl is beginning her search of who she is as a person. She is attempting to find herself as a religious being, a pre-pubescent teen, and fitting in as a 6th Grader in a new town. She consistently turns to her “God” companion to aid in her struggles along the way.

Grade Level: 5th Grade and Beyond

Genre: Contemporary Realistic Fiction

Readers who will like this: Girls who are on the cusp of being a pre-teen would see value in this book as a resource. I also think any woman could pick up this book, and immediately connect with Margaret as a 12-year-old girl.

Response/Rating (1-4): 4

One question you would ask before a read aloud: Does anyone in the classroom have a best friend or person you talk with when you are having trouble figuring out a problem or are struggling to find a specific answer?
