I've heard a lot about this book since I've become a more diligent reader. Mostly because it has been banned so many times over the years. Every time I come to reading a banned book (especially one that is meant for children) I always find myself wondering why it was banned. This book was no exception.
One thing I really enjoy about this book is that it look at an issue that all of us (of the female gender when it come to our bodies) have been through and shows it in the eyes of someone going through it. It was nice to hear it coming from such a young voice. (Even though sometimes the things these girls would do were ridiculous. However, I think that is because of the age difference between me and the girls.) I really enjoyed the theme of religion in this book as well. It's very relevant for someone to think about. I wish I would have had the choice like Margaret.
Overall, this was a good books. I just wish I could have read it when I was younger.
