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

A companion novel to "Just as Long as We're Together," "Here's to You, Rachel Robinson" ($9) is a touching look at the realities of tween life. Rachel is a model student with a desire to fix everything for her family and friends. Her anxieties about trying to control things that are simply beyond her control — like her older brother being kicked out of boarding school — will resonate with overachieving people-pleasers of all ages. Ultimately, Rachel has to learn how to live her own life without worrying about being the perfect daughter, sister, and friend. It's a liberating message that still holds up today.
