Judy Blume is one of the most popular and influential authors of children's and young adult fiction in the modern age of literature, but her relationship with the larger media world has been complicated. "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret" might just be her most famous work, though it's remarkably taken more than 50 years for a proper screen adaptation -- perhaps because of the long, frustrating history of Blume's relationship with Hollywood producers. However, a meeting with producer James L. Brooks and director Kelly Fremon Craig convinced her to finally sell the rights to her beloved coming-of-age novel, even after Brooks warned her of the dangers of the Hollywood system.
Blume frequently covers topics related to sexuality, identity, and all the awkward bodily changes that come with puberty, but the outrage and frequent threats of censorship from conservative critics weren't enough to shatter her best-selling author status. Her popularity,...

It’s not just you: 2023 is the year of Judy Blume. The iconic author has seen on-screen adaptations dating back to a “Forever” 1978 TV movie, the 2012 big-screen take on “Tiger Eyes,” even a ’90s-era TV series, “Fudge-a-Mania,” and now she has a documentary and a feature released within days of each other. She’s seemingly, suddenly everywhere — and thank goodness for that because, we need her now more than ever.
The Blume book you know (and love) best — the titillating “Forever”? the wacky “Fudge” series? the aching “Deenie”? — is more than a litmus test for your young-adult literary obsessions; it can also hold hints as to what you’ve held on to, even as an adult. However, we’ll hazard a guess that “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret” is her most enduring book, if only because, tucked inside its wonderfully specific story about a pre-teen girl eagerly anticipating...

Prologue
At the start of the 1950s, in the suburbs of Elizabeth, N.J., a nearly teenage Judy Blume found herself at odds with the rhythms of her body.
She hadn’t inherited her Aunt Gert’s large breasts.
And she hadn’t yet started her period.
She had discovered the joys of self-stimulation, but she was suffering from a lack of privacy.
There were consolations along the way. Her friends had bigger chests than hers, sure, but they were kind and honest, and all just as keen as she was to discuss things like masturbation, even if they hadn’t learned the word yet. And her monthly bleeds did eventually come. But more on that later.

The Russo Brothers are returning to the Disney fold — but not with a Marvel project this time. Instead, they’re expanding into the animation realm, with an adaptation of “Superfudge,” one of Judy Blume’s best-selling children’s books.
Produced by the Russo Brothers’ company, Agbo, and written by Amos Vernon and Nunio Randazzo, the Disney+ film was announced to be in development on Monday during the Disney Branded Television portion of the Television Critics Association Winter Tour.
Based on the best-selling book by Judy Blume, first released in 1980, “Superfudge” centers on The Hatcher family. At the heart of that family is 12-year-old Peter Hatcher. He’s living a good life in Manhattan; he’s got his pet turtle, his own room, great parents, and a true best friend, Jimmy. But he also has a 3-year-old brother, named Fudge.
As readers of Blume’s books might remember, Fudge is a chaotic force of nature.

She also really knows her middle-reader authors.Amy Poehler: I am excited to see Judy Blume’s new movie, because she is a very special lady, and more movies should be produced with her name. Or she should just sit and read her books aloud and we should just gather at her feet.[a party guest with Poehler]: Judy Blume is the best.Poehler: Are You There God?
