The Enduring Impact of Judy Blume's Radical Honesty.

The upcoming film adaptation of Judy Blume's "Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret" highlights the ongoing controversy surrounding books that discuss sexuality and other taboo topics for young readers. While legislation and book bans attempt to restrict access to such material, the digital age makes it increasingly difficult to control what kids can find out on their own. Blume's books have always been a target of censorship, but their appeal lies in their ability to provide a private, independent conversation for young readers.
