Judy Blume
Forever Enduring




Judy Blume has currently written 23 books including Are You There God? It's Me Margaret, Forever, Blubber. and Tiger Eyes.  Blume continues to be one of the most controversial authors of this time.  Most of her books have been challenged in both Public and School libraries across the nation.  Gratefully, most of the challenges against Blume have been unsuccessful.  By drawing so much attention to this brilliant author the censors have not successfully defeated Judy, instead they have make her and her works stronger.  Judy Blume writes humorous coming of age novels that have the potential to change a readers life.  Since the wave of censorship and banning has crossed Blume's path she has chosen to fight back by becoming a activist against the censorship of books.  She is an active member of National Coalition Against Censorship.  Blume's thoughts and feelings can be found in Places I Never Meant to Be and "Judy Blume Talks About Censorship."
