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.

Hello Judy,
I am back with a fresh new group of grade 4 students. They are excited to read your book Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing.
The students have said that the book sounds interesting based on the back cover.
When we finish this book, what book would you recommend us to read next?
One student asked, "How long did it take you to write Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing?"
Thank you,
Ms. Kelly Webber and the Students of 4W

Hello Mrs. Blume,
I teach Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, Superfudge, and Fudge-A-Mania at an afterschool English academy for elementary school students in Seoul, South Korea. My kids wanted to know why Fudge and Tootsie have baby talk nicknames, but Peter does not! Could you please enlighten us! Much appreciated.
With love and respect,
Mr. Gregory

Hi Judy! Like most women my age (55), I grew up reading and loving your books. I recently read the book, "The Genius of Judy," and was reminded of how much I loved our books. My son is 10 and though we'd read a few of your books in year's past, I decided it was time to jump back in as he heads toward puberty. Together we read "Then Again, Maybe I Won't" and he absolutely loved it. He asked if I would buy him a copy of the book so he could read it again later. When I told him he could write you a note, he was so excited. Thanks for continuing to inspire a love of reading in kids and addressing the topics that are relevant for them. Your impact on popular culture is significant and meaningful to so many!
Hello. I really liked your book, Then Again, Maybe I Won't. I think you could make a sequel like maybe you could make it about him being an adult or the next summer.
Dear Judy Blume,
I love your Fudge books! I am not surprised that most of them are award winners. I am in the middle of reading Double Fudge. So far it is great! I first discovered the series when I was in 3rd grade. In fact I am going into 4th grade next week. I found Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing so funny!

We love your books!! When are you going to write another book?
We just read The Pain and the Great One in our class. We loved that your kids inspired those characters. They have inspired us, too! What is your favorite book?
I have been a lifelong fan of your books! My fourth-grade teacher introduced me to your books.
My friends and I were just discussing how it would be fun for a continuation of Margaret's life if you write a book about her going through menopause! She should be old enough for that by now. LOL! I hope to be able to meet you someday! I got my niece a whole set of your books. I can't wait until she is old enough to read them!

Hello! We are a third grade class and we just read The Pain and the Great One. We are interested in reading your other books and we can't wait to see the next book you write. We would love to read a school themed book. Thank you for being an author! We love your stories.
Dear Judy,
As an eight-year-old girl in 2025, in Australia, I think your book "Are you there God? It's me, Margaret." is amazing! It is so amazing that I am dressing up as Margaret for book week at school. My mother read it to me and I am going to read it to my kids if I ever have them.

Are you there Judy? It’s me Shannon! Shannon Edwards, tales of a fourth grade teacher who is retiring at the end of this academic year after 29 years in fourth grade. I have read your books to my fourth graders every single year…even with push back against read alouds…I kept going. I saw the magic and sparkle that your words brought to my students. I just wanted to say thank you before I start the final year with you on Monday!

Dear Judy Blume,
My name is Kira. I am 9. A few days ago, I had my half-birthday. I have read your book, "Tales of a Fourth Grade nothing." I would like to tell you that I am very sad about Dribble, but I like the ending. It's very cute. I would like to know what breed of dog Henry gets. I know Turtle would grow much too big for Fudge to eat, so I kept thinking, "Maybe Turtle's a Great Dane?"
I am in the middle of reading, "Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great," and possibly (My Mom says 3 books at a time, this one would be 4.), "Deenie."
I want a dog, but (a) our cat, Steevie wouldn't like it and (b) I don't think my Dad would ever admit to wanting a dog.
sincerely,
Kira H

Dear Judy, As a 12 year old, I read "Are you there God? It's me Margaret" 54 years later I have returned to that story as a comfort and a reminder to continue with creative journalling. It is rare for any book to be so impactful ovr so many decades. Thank you for all your inspirational writing for young people.
Do you have any personal appearances scheduled at your Key West bookstore this month or possibly in December?
Thank you

Dear Judy Blume,
I’m writing on behalf of a new book club called "Pass The Prose". We’ve just launched this month, and your novel Summer Sisters is our very first pick.
Many of us grew up with your books, and reading Summer Sisters now at this stage of our lives feels especially meaningful.
We’re so glad to begin this book club journey with your words leading the way.

Hello Judy,
I'm 51 and entering a new life chapter, so I decided to subscribe to Masterclass for inspiration. Yours is the first one that I started watching and I just have to thank you for sharing about how you wrote out a whole class full of kids and knew exactly who each one was. I thought I was the only one who did that. When I was 9 or 10 years old (this was the 80s), I started making classroom and sports team rosters. Lots of them. In fact, I wrote an entire elementary school roster of students and I knew who they all were, who their siblings were in the school, the teachers, the sports teams attached to the school (boys and girls teams), everything! My family would find these "endless lists" (as my mother called them) laying around the house and wonder what the heck I was thinking! Well, now I know. I was just thinking like a writer creating characters and it's perfectly normal because Judy Blume does it too. Thank you so much for the inspiration, both back in the 80s when I read your books for the first time, and now that I'm a grownup. I'm going to start writing my endless lists again and see what happens.

You touched so many hearts with Are you there God, It’s me Margaret. Those of us that read the book in middle school are now in menopause and would love to see you write a book on it 🥰
