Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret came out more than 50 years ago, and Judy Blume had us hooked from jump. Finally a book talking about periods and bras and hormonal urges. All hidden behind the most innocent looking cover so adults wouldn’t know. Genius.

The original cover from 1970 sees Margaret Simon standing in front of her suburban house with a Mona Lisa-esque smile on her face. The artwork tells us nothing, and that was just how we wanted it back then. No adults allowed to know our business.Open Library
