Tween-girl bible “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.,” written by Judy Blume, is about an 11-year-old girl praying to God to speed up the maturation process. Could she please-please-please have something (other than socks) to fill out the training bra? And also a reason to actually use the surreptitiously, piggy-bank-purchased, menstruation pads? Already? Please?
