Publisher Description

Margaret Simon, almost twelve, has just moved from New York City to the suburbs, and she’s anxious to fit in with her new friends. When she’s asked to join a secret club she jumps at the chance. But when the girls start talking about boys, bras, and getting their first periods, Margaret starts to wonder if she’s normal. There are some things about growing up that are hard for her to talk about, even with her friends. Lucky for Margaret, she’s got someone else to confide in . . . someone who always listens.

"I really liked the book. Although now I'm a bit too old for it, I still remember that uncertainty and confused feelings about growing up. With this book you suddenly find out that everything what you feel is just normal and almost everyone feels the same way and you're not alone."

When moving to her new house, she meets her naber Nancy, who is the "leader" of the four PTS's. As soon as she meets Nancy, Margret relizes that she is "not normal". She thinks that she isn't normal because she doesn't have the same body type ad Nancy or the oter girls in the group.. espeachally not Laura Danker. Margret's whole entire life people have been convincing her that she is Cristian because her mothe ris Cristian. She wants to be apart of the Jewish Center or the Y, but she just can't figure out which on she wants to be. Margret tryed to go to the temple, and church and she even tryed going to confession befor running out of the church and yelling out "Im sorry!" She even tryes to make a project for one of her classes to help her make her decision, but at the end of the book, she still can not decide. At the end of the book, Margret finds out that she is normal and she should judge people. She laerns how it feels to be the odd one out. This is a great book, and I reccomend it to girls.This book talks about some problems that most girls face. Each girl goes through things that makes them doubt their self. that is why having true friends is very important. People should judge themselves, and others because every body is unique in their own way. "

    " A staple for you girls everywhere. It has "the talk" with your child so you don't have to! Yes, I know, that's a cop-out, but believe me, your kid doesn't want to have the talk any more than you do. At least this covers a lot of the groundwork and you can fill in the blanks afterwards. "
