It's the [[The Sixties|the 1960s]] and [[Naive Everygirl|Margaret, the protagonist of this book]], is a sixth-grade girl who is struggling over the issue of faith. Her mother is a Christian and her father is Jewish, but up until that point she considered herself non-religious. She also deals with the issues of growing up and puberty, such as periods, liking boys, getting her first bra and being jealous of girls who grew breasts sooner, hence the book cover.
 
''[['''Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret.]]''''' is generally considered to be a [[Young Adult]] novel and was written by [[Judy Blume]] in 1970. Because it has puberty and the questioning of religious faith as a large part of its subject matter, it was also subsequently banned from many school libraries and reading lists.
 
In late-2018, Judy Blume finally stopped saying "no" to film and TV adaptations of the book. Lionsgate Films finally premiered [[Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. (film)|a movie version of the story]] at the [[San Francisco International Film Festival]] in April 2023.
