We Watch as she explores issues and events every young girl goes through; boys, bras, periods, religion, finding herself, body image, friends, rumors and so much more.
This is my first Judy Blume book. I know, it's totally crazy right? Being a bookworm my entire life you would think I would of read something, even if not this title, by the well known author. Now that I have, I'm wishing I had read this book back in my own prepubescent time. There is something so innocent and honest about Blume's portrayal of this very emotional time that I found so comforting and wonderful.
The characters were well written. I loved how they seemed to be normal everyday kids. They weren't made into perfect little puppets for the sake of a happy ending. It just open and honest and realistic all the way around.
I can't express how much I loved this book. And despite being a full grown adult woman I found this book to be so beautiful and touching. I would recommend this book for young ladies around 9-12 depending on the child, of course.
I've somehow never read a Judy Blume book, so I totally get what you mean. Glad you liked this one, I've heard it's a favorite for people.
