Margaret Simon, almost twelve, likes long hair, tuna fish, the smell of rain, and things that are pink. Margaret has just moved from New York City to the suburbs, and she’s anxious to fit in with her new friends. When she’s asked to join a secret club she jumps at the chance. But when the girls start talking about boys, bras, and getting their first periods, Margaret starts to wonder if she’s normal. There are some things about growing up that are hard for her to talk about, even with her friends. Lucky for Margaret, she’s got someone else to confide in . . . someone who always listens.

Margaret is funny and real, and her thoughts and feelings are oh-so-relatable—you’ll feel like she’s talking right to you, sharing her secrets with a friend.

Laura Hamilton gives Margaret, the narrator of Judy Blume’s popular novel, a convincing sixth-grader’s voice–one that is perky and enthusiastic at one time and questioning and uncertain at another time. Upbeat and entertaining, this production is a perfect match of author and narrator. If listeners aren’t already Judy Blume fans, they will be after enjoying this audiobook.
