Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret

Teenage (or pre-teenage actually) angst has never been so funny. Following Margaret Simon through the struggle of moving, making new friends, getting her first period, dealing with her changing body, and figuring out what religion she will be, Margaret shares her vulnerabilities through her relationship and conversations with God. Published in 1970, it’s still a book every young girl (black, white, blue or green) should read.
