The New Jersey-born, Key West-based Blume was a producer on the movie, but she can also be seen in front of the camera as the subject of the documentary Judy Blume Forever. All told, her 29 books have sold 90 million copies, despite some of them being frequent targets of book bans. During the 80s, she received 2,000 letters a month. In addition to her books for young adults ( Forever, Deenie), she’s written picture books, children’s and middle grade books (the Fudge series), and adults ( Wifey, In the Unlikely Event, her most recent novel from 2015). Judy Blume chronicled the agony and angst of navigating puberty, adolescence, and sex for generations of the curious, confused, and clueless, and now comes Lionsgate’s big-screen version of arguably her angstiest, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret (Atheneum Books for Young Readers).
