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.

Ms Blume - I’ve been reading you since the 70s and into my adulthood (Wifey, Summer Sisters). Read your biography in the early 80s.
I am Key West this week and I ventured into your store on Tuesday 11/12, as I have for the past 9 years (been coming to key west yearly, since 2008). Saw you stacking books and knew it was you but didn’t want to bother you but hope you felt my eternal love! Thanks for getting me through adolescence!

Dear Judy Blume,
Hello, I am your fan Dean Park.I am from South Korea.I love your book,TALES OF A FOURTH GRADE NOTHING,I enjoy this book because Fudge was silly and kind of strange because he likes to play with socks,pans,and pots.It made me wonder how I was like,when I was a baby.I think I was like Fudge.
Next,my favorite character is Peter because,I found out I have same mind as him.
For example,Fudge ate peter's turtle so I wanted to kick him on the butt,but Peter felt the same way and I was amazed.My favorite part is when Peter used the same words his mom said to him at SHEILA when she wrote,hand written by Sheila Tubman.
last,my question is why did you write this book and how did you get the idea.

Dear Judy Blume,
My name is Jin Yoon,and l live in South Korea.I just finished reading Tales of d Forth Grade Nothing. This books stands out of from other books because Peter acts just like a fourth grader.It was very fun,hilarious,and amusing because of the time he gulped a turtle and tried to fly.I think you should write more books for us because your books are fantastic! My favorite character is Fudge because he doesn't have sense,so he's funny,and does things that are unbelievable, like when i was young.My favorite part of the book is when Fudge tried to touch the bears on the movie screen.I have a few questions to ask about the book.How did Fudge get his name,and what is the most meaningful book you have written? thank you for your time.
Your fan,
Jin Yoon.

Dear Judy Blume,
Hello! I'm Roy.The"Tales of Fourth Grade Nothing"book, I enjoyed the book because I felt like I could have sympathy to this book especially with the character, Fudge.
And I like character Fudge because I thought I was like Fudge when I was young. And there are some questions that I would like to ask. Why did you choose to be an author, and why did you write this book? I will be happy if you could reply back to me. And I felt a little sad at the end because Fudge ate Peter's turtle Dribble. At that moment, I felt like I wanted to pay back on Fudge. Thank you for writing such a wonderful story. Good bye!
Your fan,
Roy

Dear Judy Blume,
Hello! l am Brian from South Korea. I'm fan of your books.
I want to give 5 stars to the book, 'Tales of the Fourth Grade Nothing' because Peter's cleverness amazed me. I like Peter the best because he didn't give up especially when he lost his turtle. My favorite part of the book was when Dribble finally got of Fudge after he swallowed Dribble. I felt bad for Peter, but relieved that Fudge is healthy. I would like to ask you two questions! How did you come up with the characters such as an ordinary Fourth grader, Peter, and his younger brother, Fudge? And how did you even make myself as Peter after reading the book? I think that amazing!
When I read this book, joy and sadness came to me. I want to be an author just like you.
Thank you for your time!

Dear Judy Blume,
I was inspired by your books. Your books helped me to have a dream to be an author. I am grateful for you for becoming an author and writing great,exciting books. I have read your book "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" and thought that the character I like the most is Peter because I also don't like annoying,young kids like Peter. I really think that the books you write are fantastic and wish you will write more for me and more people who love your books. I have two questions about"Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing"and you. My first question is,"How did you think of the characters Peter and Fudge?"and my second question is,"Why did you become an author?". My favorite part from the book is when Peter got a new pet dog, Turtle. I am looking forward to new books and interested in what ideas you have. I have enjoyed the way you used your words in your books. I wish you will send me a letter back.

Hello!
I teach second grade in Arkansas and we do a “first chapter Friday” activity where we read the first chapter of different books to get them excited about chapter books and reading. They LOVE when I read first chapters of your books. I also like to do novel studies and recently we finished Zoey and Sassafras. We were able to get 25 copies so each kid could read along and take it home. Do you have anything similar to this that you might be able to donate or recommend where I could get a class set to do Freckle Juice? I loved Are You There God it’s me Margaret, Freckle Juice, and The Fudge books when I was younger and excited to share that love with them!
Thank you!

Hi Judy,
We met c 2004 at Battin HS in Elizabeth. You were visiting your Alma mater and I was a vocal music teacher at the time. I wrote a tribute song for you sung by my middle school chorus. I'm writing because I continue to write music. I have co written songs for a middle school musical based on " A Christmas Carol" and would love to write more in this area. Would you be interested in listening to any of my songs? Do you have any desire to collaborate?
Thanks for reading this, Stanley Schwartz

Dear Judy Blume,
Hello! I'm Kayla K, and I'm a third grader from South Korea. I'm a fan of your books! Recently, I have read your book, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. When I was reading this book, I was ALWAYS excited to see what would happen next , and I think that ths book makes the point of view of an ordinary fourth grader with an outgoing little brother.😊 My favorite character is Peter, because he never gives up, and gets back what he lost, such as the poster that Fudge scribbled on. Although I personally don't have a younger brother, reading your book gave me a great impression of what it would be like to have a younger broher. My favorite part of the book was when Peter tricked Fudge at the dentistry and the shoe shop.😁 I think that tricking Fudge was a smart and clever idea to make Fudge do something without forcing him to do it. I want to ask you how you got the idea to name Peter's brother, FUDGE. I also would like to know how you got the idea of including a pet dog at the end of the story! I really like dogs; do you? I truly love your books and am glad to talk to you and ask you questions 😊 I hope you can write more books in the future! I myself also want to become an author, and you are my role model!!🥰
Thank you for your time~~💌

Help! My granddaughter has to do a brief monologue for play tryouts. I remember her The Pain. I am a retired reading specialist and cannot locate this. Please respond asap so, she will have time to memorize. This would be so perfect for her! Thank you. Karen Wise
I met you in Tucson at a young author's conference at the University of Arizona when I was about 11 years old. It must have been around 1976. You were a guest speaker and I still remember you telling stories about your son Larry and writing Superfudge. It was a 2 day conference and I loved every minute of it. I had read the most books (and written a book report for each one) in my elementary class, and attending the conference was the Grand Prize. You made a huge impression on me. You were also very kind to me. I stood in line to have you autograph Sheila the Great, and accidentally handed you the book upside down and open to the back cover, which you signed. Then when I discovered my mistake (to my utter horror) you kindly took the book from me and signed it again on the front (right side up) and wrote something about it being upside down and backwards. I got a bonus!!! I treasured that book for many years until someone stole it from me. Sad. I really wanted to be a writer when I was a child. I just wanted to make books. Well, I'm not an author, and likely never will be, but I'm the next best thing... an editor. I actually think I enjoy editing more than I ever did writing. So you were a huge inspiration to me! I was talking to one of my authors on the phone and you came up in conversation, and so I looked you up and found this website. I just wanted to thank you for taking time to encourage me all those years ago. I'm 58 now and have the best job in the world.
An instagram post: we who read your book in childhood believe you need to write a follow up book about Margaret going through menopause... see this instagram post...https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-oYbdPgOhI/?igsh=MWdndTQzYnc0bTF0cg==
We need it! Are you there God? it's me Margaret helped ao many of us navigate the challenges of becoming young women... sure could use that help again!

Hello! I will be on Key West on an anniversary cruise on Tuesday (October 29, 2024) and I cannot wait to visit your shop! I grew up, survived really, through your books and am now the director of libraries in a school system in eastern NC. I do hope you might be there so I can meet you. I know it is not probable, but it would be a dream for me - highlight of my trip. Thank you for all you do for kids and libraries. You are an inspiration.
Hi! My name is Rose and I'm almost twelve. I am homeschooled so I don't get to see a lot of kids my age around here. It gets very lonely and my mom has anger issues and my mom and stepfather fight a lot. Because we're not excactly the richest family in the world whenever we go out or we want something we have to have a budget and have to count every euro we spend. I am writing to you now because I want you to know how much your books have inflenced my life! w ant you to know how many times I stayed up all night because I coudn't sleep and I read one of your books that I probably read about a million times before. And because my family isn't exactly the richest one on earth we can't always buy whatever we want and we have been on a budget for over a couple of years now. Because of all the books you wrote and I thoght I'd like to tell you this; I am going to a teen disco haloween-y thing and I need a costume, almost all of my halloweens the kids made fun if mycostume and this is a big step into teenagerhood this disco.You have been a huge helper and milestine for me in my chuldood and I am so grateful for all your books! Especially the ones for adults, I enjoyed these more tha the middle grade ones. They had more complexity and richness, the middle grade ones where more appropriate for me a couple years ago. I thoroughly enhoyed all your books and you have beeb such a big inspartion to me anda huge help too. I really hope you will be the one reading this and not your agent because everything I wrote in here is ttrue and I am a your biggest fan eveb though I'm sure you have heard that from many others! Yours, Rose.
Dear Judy,
I have written a poem about a young woman's decision to begin having sex. You might find it interesting, even though I am a man and not a young lady.
Sincerely,
W.E.Feeman,Jr,MD And I want to tell you that I can wait no longer.
I love you and I want you too.
I want to do what lovers do.
I have thought this over time and again.
I know what I want is not a sin.
So I offer you myself, body and soul.
I want you to make me whole.
So with you this day this pact I make:
I offer myself. I am not yours to take.
There is nowhere I would rather be
Than lying with you, and you in me.
Our naked bodies entwined, our passions will soar.
Paradise awaits when I open my door.
Higher and higher our passions will arise,
Then comes the explosion, followed by sighs.
I am not yet ready for we two to become three.
I am not yet ready to start a family.
So when you are finished climbing my hill,
I will take the morning after pill.
And if I like sex as much as I think I will,
I will happily start the birth control pill.
But if in the future, we go our separate ways,
I’ll remember our time to the end of my days.

I am Isabelle G from Oliver Ames High School in Massachusetts. I am a big fan of a bunch of your novels! I am doing a project about censorship of literature in school libraries. I was wondering if you would like to be part of my documentary for the StudentCAM documentary project? I could do any time that works for you.
I see a connection with Plainfield on your bio. I was born at Muhoenbrrg hospital and grew up near cedarbrook park. Just came back from my 59th high school reunion. My kids have loved your books. Plainfield does it again!
