In a famous scene, captured on film for the first time in a new film adaptation of the book, Margaret and her fellow flat-chested friends chant aloud, “We must-we must-we must increase our bust!”Ī season of Judy Blume rediscovery is upon us. “Have you thought about it God? About my growing, I mean,” she wonders after buying her first bra. Don’t let New Jersey be too horrible,” she pleads before the big move. Written from the point of view of Margaret, the book is peppered with Margaret’s prayers for guidance as she weathers the storms of adolescence and navigates intricate middle-school social hierarchies.

It’s Me, Margaret, is the story of an eleven-year-old girl who moves from New York City to the suburbs while going through puberty and has to try to fit in at a new school.
