Margaret Simon, almost twelve, likes long hair, tuna fish, the smell of rain, and things that are pink. Shes just moved from New York City to Farbrook, 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. But none of them can believe Margaret doesnt have a religion, and that she isnt joining the Y or the Jewish Community Center. What they dont know is that Margaret has her own special relationship with God. She can talk to God about everything -- family, friends, even Philip Leroy, the best-looking boy in sixth grade. Margaret is funny and real. As you read her story, youll know why this book has been the favorite of millions of readers.
