Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret is young adult novel that follows a year in the life of sixth grader Margaret Simon, who has just moved with her parents from New York to New Jersey. A twelve-year-old at a new school, Margaret struggles with making the transition from child to teenager while also searching for a religious identity - her mother's family is Christian and her father's family is Jewish. A landmark novel upon its publication in 1970, the book explores topics like puberty and girls' changing bodies.
