Description:
Margaret Simon, almost twelve, likes long hair, tuna fish, the smell of rain, and things that are pink. SheÕs just moved from New York City to Farbook, New Jersey, and is anxious to fit in with her new friendsÑNancy, Gretchen, and Janie. When they form a secret club to talk about private subjects like boys, bras, and getting their first periods, Margaret is happy to belong.

But none of them can believe Margaret doesnÕt have religion, and that she isnÕt going to the Y or the Jewish Community Center. What they donÕt know is Margaret has her own very special relationship with God. She can talk to God about everythingÑfamily, friends, even Moose Freed, her secret crush.

Margaret is funny and real, and her thoughts and feelings are oh-so-relatableÑyouÕll feel like sheÕs talking right to you, sharing her secrets with a friend.
