Judy says: Thank you, thank you for all your wonderful notes. I only wish I could write back to each of you personally. But in order to start a new book I need serious thinking time, which means less time for e-mail. Hope you understand.
Just want you to know that my assistant and I read this guestbook every day, and try to respond when appropriate. Your continued love and support are a constant inspiration.

My 11 year old daughter has absolutely loved reading all of the Fudge series. That’s until I just found her in tears having read a chapter about how Santa isn’t real, just an idea. She is beyond it, as I am I in sadness. I can’t understand why you would put that in a book and end that magic period for them… it’s just so sad. She has a language disorder so I have tried to play it that she simply doesn’t understand what’s been written. I would most appreciate it if someone could email me (she would be ecstatic from any contact!) to confirm to her that he is indeed real and that was not what you meant in the book…..!!!
Hi there Judy Blume, my name is Gregory. My 4 friends and I were what the teachers call "goofing off" in class and came up with the idea of a Tales of a fourth-grade show called Stranger Flings of a Fourth Grade Nothing. It is a collaboration with Stranger things. by famous show creators: Duffer Brothers. We are also planning to reach out to them. We just created this yesterday. We have written a storyline already. I hope you get this and maybe it will be the sixth season of stranger things... but anyways, after i send this, i will send this to the Duffer brothers. if this becomes real, ty, and if you haven't watched stranger things yet, i recommend watching it. I hope you and the duffer brothers will give us permission ty.
Dear Judy Blume, I really like your books, no, I love your books! I just discovered your books 4 months ago by my teacher. He read me and my classmates your book called “Tales of a fourth grade nothing”. After that, I was obsessed with your books. And I was like, hey, I’m in the fourth grade. So after that, my teacher saw that I liked them and now we are so close to finishing “Double Fudge”. I am so excited to start a new series and now you inspired me to write my own book and I’m so excited to get started.

Hello Judy! I’m a 40ish year old father and I just rediscovered the Hatcher clan with my 5 year old son. Of course he thinks Fudge is hilarious; he’s been trying to find a food nickname that works for his name. I l read them so many times the Hatchers felt like cousins. I loved them growing up, and I tell you what, reading about life in NYC when you’re from the Montana sticks as a kid was really interesting too. Ha My wife is also excited to share AYTGIMM with our little girl (she’s only two right now though) Thank you so much for the excellent, real stories over the years.
Dear Judy Blume,
Thank you for writing and sharing your books.
So many of them were a huge part of my childhood and teenage years.
They mean a lot to me. I was a quiet kid with a few good friends, and your books were like having another friend. 💜

I have a few ideas for you I am in the same age group as most of the stories like Deenie blubber are you there god it’s me Margret then again maybe I won’t Igor’s house just as long as we’re together and here’s to you Rachel Robinson I am your biggest fan and I have a new idea 💡 you should make some holiday special series and I almost forgot to tell you I have also read the entire Peter Hatcher and fudge with jimmy Fargo and Sheila Tubman and her older sister Libby and Peter’s friend that he met when he moved for a year Alex and I also wread it is not the end of the world and I think that you should write a few of the same books but from the parent pov like it is not the end of the world maybe the mom and dads point of view about the move and Jeff running away
Anyways that is all love,
Brinlee
P.s I am a girl with a sick mom who has severe heart issues and so maybe you should write about a child going through their parent sickness
Pps my. Mom is a fighter and awesome

Thank you for all the great things you have given to others and your work on anti-censorship. I also aspire to be a writer.
Not looking for fame. I just want every person to benefit from ya greatness, like me itchy-scratchy, chubby girl, awkward Afican American lil girl that grew up in CA foster system. Hid in books. I found God and Margaret looking for each other.
53, semi successful living in Dallas now. Didn't have to hide or maybe, I stopped caring after reading you in 3rd grade. Want another young me to experience that feeling.

Dear Judy Blume,
I wanna start off by saying that I have read every single book that you have written. I started reading your books when I was a child because I was a poor reader. Your books opened a whole new world to me. I became a better reader by reading books that interested me.
I have been a teacher in Elizabeth, New Jersey for the last 27 years. I am currently a fifth grade English teacher at William Halloran School. We named our English Honor Society after you.
My school would really love if you would visit the school, even if it is only via technology. Our students would be so enamored to hear from another Elizabeth kid who did well in the world. It would also mean the world to this teacher to see and listen to her hero and favorite author.
Thank you for making me a better reader and for filling my childhood with your amazing stories
❤️ Nicole Gebhart

I really enjoy the smell of books too.
Hi! The new meme on Instagram is saying our generation needs Judy Blume to write a new version of “Are you There God…” dealing with menopause.
For real, we do! 🙂

Dear Ms. Blume,
We are writing to you as two of your biggest—and most enthusiastic—fans to thank you for filling our lives with such cornerstones of childhood literature. Your books haven't just been stories; they’ve been touchstones for generations.
My name is Sheila, and your character, Sheila Tubman, truly changed things for me. Growing up, the only other Sheilas I encountered were older women. It wasn’t until I picked up Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great that I saw a young girl with my name—and a character who was so wonderfully complex and relatable. That feeling of recognition, coupled with the profound joy your stories brought, set me firmly on the path to loving literature. I am now a librarian, and I credit your work for fostering my deep passion for books and sharing them with others.
Now, that love has passed on to my son, Daniel. Daniel is seven and a half, and he is absolutely obsessed with the Hatcher family, particularly in Fudge-A-Mania. He has read his copy at least eight times—I think he has Peter's inner monologue memorized! He often quotes the stories, and the adventures of Fudge, Peter, and Sheila are constant fixtures in our home.
You mentioned in one of your books that you love hearing from readers, so we wanted to share our story and send our sincere gratitude. Thank you for creating characters who feel like friends and for inspiring a lifetime of reading for both of us.
We know you are incredibly busy, but Daniel would have the happiest Christmas ever if he heard from the wonderful lady who created Super Fudge Hatcher.
With deepest admiration and appreciation,
Two super fans of Super Fudge,
Sheila and Daniel

Dear Judy,
I am a long time fan of your books. I remember the very first time that I read Are You There God? It's Me Margaret. My 9 year old daughter and I have just finished reading it together...and at just the right time! She got her very first period today. Thank you for writing books that help girls through this time in their lives. You were a big part of my growing up, and now are a big part of hers as well. We are watching Are You There God? It's Me Margaret as I type this, while she enjoys her chocolates and lots of giggles.
I just wanted to thank you!

Dear Judy,
I just wanted to say thank you for writing me back so many years ago. You're probably the number one reason I decided to finally write. Your name is on my author's page. I'll be doing my first book signing on December 13th at The Goose bar. You'll definitely be there in my heart. Your books helped me so much while I was growing up. just watched a documentary about your life. I had no idea how many kids you inspired. Thank you for just having the courage to be you.
Forever a fan,
Erik

Hello Ms, Blume,
First let me say that I’m a huge fan of yours. Your books kept me strong in elementary and junior high school.
I’m writing to ask permission to do readings of your books for a bedtime story YouTube page? My hope is to get the messages your books have to new generations of kids. As a grandmother myself now, I just feel this so strongly.
Your attention to this is greatly appreciated.

Dear Judy Blume, my children and grandchildren, and I have enjoyed many of your books over the years. And admired you.
But I must respectfully say your TV commercial on banning books is way off base. The books that are banned show and describe sex not necessarily healthy sex that are being shown to very young children. It’s up to parents not school teachers many of which have really cookie ideas to put these kinds of books into children’s libraries. I hope you will take a deeper dive in this issue. The banned books are not for children for sure.
Thank you, Donna

As most 58 yr old Jewish women originally from NJ, I want to say I am one of your biggest fans . My friend , Lori Rosen , not a Jersey girl- just heard you speak at the Steichler center in NYC this past May.
She is turning 60. I would love to surprise her with a short celebratory note from you if possible. She already has a signed collection of your books so I was hoping a note could suffice.
Thank you for “seeing me” during my adolescence and providing great entertainment with your adult books. I believe that because of your ya books, you have helped my generation know that we do not need to be “ wifey”.
Thank
You, Heidi Buhler
