I loved Judy Blume when I was a child, but now as a parent I am not sure I could recommend it.

Amazon.com Reviews states that in addition to the angst of puberty is the deeper exploration of a young person's struggle to find a relationship with God. []

A good one to share with your child. Even children that have grown up in church struggle to have a relationship with God
