Are You There God? It's Me Margaret.
Author: Judy Blume
Margaret Simon is going to be in 6th grade at her new school, Delano Elementary School. She is nervous because the family just moved to Farbrook, New Jersey from New York City and she’s worried about making new friends.
Nancy Wheeler, a girl from down the street, comes over to introduce herself to Margaret and tells her about her girls club and that Margaret should join. The group P.T.S.’s (Pre. Teen. Senstations.) is four girls; Nancy, a pushy and bossy wannabe that is the leader, Janie, the smallest and most quiet of the group, Gretchen Potter, a daughter of a Jewish doctor, and Margaret who is kind of the follower, they talk about growing up, boys (mostly Philp Leroy) and Miles J. Benedict, their 6th grade teacher.
Mr. Benedict is a new teacher. He gives them an assignment to write about something personal they would like to learn about themselves. Margaret decides to write about religion. Her mom is Christian and her dad is Jewish so her parents let her choose her own religion. Margaret went to a Temple for the Jewish New Year, a church for Christmas Eve, and did confession at the Catholic church.
At the end of the story, Margaret turns in her project and concludes that you don’t need to be a religion to have a relationship with God and all the P.T.S.’s learn you grow up at your own pace.
