Author Judy Blume was born in Elizabeth 88 years ago. Long retired, she now operates a small bookstore in Key West, Florida. Her books—aimed at “young adults”—have often been censored or banned outright. Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret shows the confusion of being a pre-teen dealing with puberty, menstruation and faith. In other words, it was too real for those self-appointed guardians of what kids should or should not know about.
