by Julie Kenner, Meg Cabot, Cara Lockwood, Jennifer O'Connell, Beth Kendrick

Everything I Needed to Know About Being a Girl I Learned from Judy Blume by Julie Kenner, Jennifer O'Connell, Meg Cabot, Beth Kendrick, & Cara Lockwood and more...

"I wonder if Judy Blume really knows how many girls' lives she affected. I wonder if she knows that at least one of her books made a grown woman finally feel like she'd been a normal girl all along. . . ."

Whether laughing to tears reading Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great or clamoring for more unmistakable "me too!" moments in Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, girls all over the world have been touched by Judy Blume's poignant coming-of-age stories. Now, in this anthology of essays, twenty-four notable female authors write straight from the heart about the unforgettable novels that left an indelible mark on their childhoods and still influence them today. After growing up from Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing into Smart Women, these writers pay tribute, through their reflections and most cherished memories, to one of the most beloved authors of all time.
