School librarians are often huge fans and advocates for Judy Blume’s ARE YOU THERE GOD? IT’S ME MARGARET. As we continue to celebrate the 50th anniversary of this classic coming-of-age novel, we’re giving away a stack of the anniversary special edition.
Celebrate the legacy of the bestselling and iconic Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret with this special edition, featuring a deluxe faux-leather embossed cover that looks and feels as vibrant as the story within.
Margaret Simon, almost twelve, likes long hair, tuna fish, the smell of rain, and things that are pink. She’s just moved from New York City to Farbook, New Jersey, and is anxious to fit in with her new friends—Nancy, Gretchen, and Janie. When they form a secret club to talk about private subjects like boys, bras, and getting their first periods, Margaret is happy to belong.
The long-awaited movie based on the book is set to shoot in spring of 2021.
We’re giving away 10 copies of the new edition of ARE YOU THERE GOD? IT’S ME MARGARET to school librarians across the United States. Judy will personalize the books to the winners and their schools.
One copy will be reserved for a school librarian in Key West, one copy will be reserved for a school librarian in Monroe County, and one for a Florida school librarian. Non-winning qualified entries in the location-specific raffles will be included in the other raffles they qualify for. Winners must have United States mailing addresses. No purchase required to win and making a purchase will not improve your chances. Shipping is included as part of the prize.
Entry is via Google Form. One entry per person. Entries due 6pm EST Wednesday, December 16, 2020. Winners will be notified via email on Dec. 17.
