The Top 13 Judy Blume Books, Because Her Writing Is Timeless

On her official website, Blume calls "Starring Sally J. Freedman as Herself" ($9) her "most autobiographical novel," and it shows in the vibrancy of Sally's world. Sally's family moves to Miami Beach in the late 1940s, just as she's starting fifth grade, and in between nursing a crush on the cute boy in class and adjusting to her new surroundings, the young protagonist is plagued by fears that another war could be on the horizon.
