I must have read it 5 or 6 times. I also wanted to be Sally--she was amazing and so creative. I think it was right around the time I read "The Diary of Anne Frank" in school, so there was a lot of Holocaust information swirling around.Captain Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04811802585408520854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13936314.post-51361389893925987392008-05-19T09:35:00.000-07:002008-05-19T09:35:00.000-07:00I read this book for the first time as a nine-year...I read this book for the first time as a nine-year-old in the early 1990s. A lot of it went over my head, but I reread every year for years, and enjoyed it more each time.

The other Judy Blume book I loved that I didn't think anyone else had heard of was "Iggie's House."Copy Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18152273437083075422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13936314.post-92221678623546007352008-05-16T17:47:00.000-07:002008-05-16T17:47:00.000-07:00oh, I loved this book.

Party lines with different rings, believing Hitler could live next door, etc. But most of all? The idea of moving to south Florida because my brother got sick. I mean, I didn't even bother wishing for my brother to get a kidney infection, because I knew all it would mean was that he'd get all the attention, and we'd still be living in ass-cold Chicago. <BR/><BR/>Still, I really loved this book, because I think some of the things she wished for are common to most girls. The whole idea of wanting a more glamorous, exciting life, being a daddy's girl, etc.<BR/><BR/>This is a really cool feature, thanks for linking to it.Crabby Apple Seed:https://www.blogger.com/profile/14740728095481518027noreply@blogger.com
