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.

Judy, since "In the Unlikely Event" is historical fiction, I was taken aback when on page 305 you wrote about the production of "Peter Pan" and credited Leonard Bernstein as the guy who wrote both the lyrics and music. I found this jarring because in the 1955 stage musical version, my cousin, Carolyn Leigh, probably best known for "Young at Heart," and "The Best is Yet to Come" wrote the lyrics. I had no idea that Leonard Berstein had ever written a version of this play. All that aside, I am very much enjoying your book, despite still not being able to remember who all of the characters are. Such an interesting idea to wrap a story around such an interesting event.

Hello Ms. Blume! As the school year progresses, we will soon be celebrating our 100th day. In honor of this event, I am hoping to receive 100 pieces of mail from all over! Every piece of mail that comes to our class will be read, numbered and hung up on our hallway bulletin board. The students love getting mail!! They love participating in our United States postcard exchange program and being pen pals with our fourth grade buddy class in Philadelphia. We talk about where each letter and postcard comes from and learn fun facts about the place.

It would be wonderful if we can receive mail from our favorite author! Please send us a little note, postcard or picture to wish us a happy 100th day to the address below. My students are huge fans and would be so starstruck to receive mail from them! Thanks so much!!♥️♥️

Good morning
Judy I have been a fan since my 6th grade teacher read Are you there god it’s me Margaret in 1977.I found a copy of the book in a pile of used books at a library that was doing a used book sale.I bought it and I recently went thru a box of books that I was sorting out. I read it again I am now 56 years old books like yours are a treasure. Thank God there are writers like you.

I have been interested for a couple of years in writing children's books. I am a current High School teacher in Charlotte, NC and I would like helpful tips on how I can get started. It is something that I am very passionate about and I look forward to fulfilling my dream.

Thank you,

Hi. I am hoping to get tickets to see Judy Blume Forever at the Sundance Film Festival. Will you be there at any of the screenings?

Keeping my fingers crossed!

Hi, Judy,

My name is Andrea, and I’m a 20 year old with a love for estate sale shopping. Despite my love for any items that I can get my hands on from past decades, I’ve admittedly been sucked further into modernity than I like. With online assignments and time wasted on social media, I’ve been feeling my passion for books slipping away since middle school. This transition from absorbing something physical, like a fantastic book, to letting time waste on ten second clips and celebrity stories that won’t matter in five minutes is something that has broken and continues to break my heart. Because of this, I decided to start reading again, not for school, not because of a breaking news story, and certainly not because of an Instagram caption, but for myself…something that I haven’t done in years - literally. While rummaging through tables of items at an estate sale, I ran into one of your books, 𝘚𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘞𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯. After broken up moments of peace every few days during which I was able to become part of the world of BB, Margo, Clare, and everyone else, I made headway on your book. I just finished it last night. It was fantastic. Now I have dozens of books that I’m excited to read. I haven’t felt this way since I was 15. Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping me open up to reading for myself again.

Hello, Ms. Blume!

We are huge Fudge fans over here.

(I also loved Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, and so did my mom!)

Double Fudge is my son's favorite book. He asked me to request a new fudge book.

Thank you for all of the wonderful stories.

Sincerely,

Roddy and his Mama

Hi Judy! I read almost all of your books in the 1970's and 1980's. I loved them all! I am an older Mom of an 8 year old boy and this year for 3rd grade, I introduced him to the Fudge collection. We are up to Super Fudge and just took Fudgemania out of our local library today. He loves them! Your books are timeless!! Thank you so much!

Dear Judy - my name is Pepper and I am 9 years old. I love your books! Fudge reminds me of my little brother except he didn’t swallow a turtle like in Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing.
I was wondering what Sheila’s sister Libby looks like? I picture her looking like an uglier Sheila from Sheila’s point of view.
Thank you for writing all these wonderful books!

Your friend,
Pepper

Hello Judy,

I’ve been a fan of your work since Superfudge, and I think you’re a wonderful author!

I have a question: What were some of your major inspirations for writing the Fudge series? What tupe of person do you think Fudge (the character) would be as an adult? And what would you consider to be your favorite book in the series?

I’m 54 years old. I began reading your books when I was in elementary school. They helped me so much. As a child, I was tall, Redheaded, frecklefaced and fair skinned. Of course I was bullied because of all these things. I had no friends. Books became my friends. I would read and get lost in the books. They kept me from being so lonely. Your books touched on difficult topics also. Topics I was too scared to ask my parents about. Thank you so much for all of your beautiful books. Thank you for being the phenomenonal writer that you are. Judy Blume was always a familiar name in my household. As soon as you had a new book out, off to the library we’d go!!
Thank you!!
With love and hugs,
Staci

Hello Judy,

My name is Simon and I am also an author too. I hope you will write another Fudge book someday.
Your work has inspired me so much that I write some children’s stories myself too.
Sincerely,
Simon

hi! i am a 12 year old girl in 6th grade and i love your books! my mom introduced my to them, and you are my favorite author! MY favorite book is "Are You There God? Its Me, Margaret."
Michele M from Lawrence, KS wrote on December 16, 2022
Could you PLEASE do a follow-up for Are You There, God. It’s Me, Margaret - only about peri-menopause? So many of us grew up with Margaret teaching us and this part of life is just as messed up and needing guidance. Please?
Easton C from Trussville wrote on December 15, 2022
If you are writing a new book I think it should be about Fudge again. I have read a lot of your books. I am in 4th grade .

My husband and I are Godparents to my lifelong friend’s 10 year old son
Roman is classified as being on the autistic spectrum and, while we live 3,000 miles apart, my husband tutors Roman each Sunday.
Reading has always been a great struggle for him and not very enjoyable.
My husband is a retired elementary school teacher and principal and has tried to make reading more enjoyable.
We sent Roman a holiday package of books that he might like and are delighted to find out that Tales Of A Forth Grade Nothing is a breakthrough book which Roman is reading on his own This is the first book that has held his interest and will be a life changer.
Thank you for your talent and for being there for him and us.
I am hoping that you could write a hello to Roman as a holiday gift.
Your hello to him will be cherished and appreciated as you are a larger than life talent.

Thank you in advance.
P.S. Years ago when my husband was principal of Riverdale County School elementary division he and the students had the pleasure of meeting you when you were a guest speaker. Small and wonderful world.

Dear Judy,
I was sharing a memory with my best friend about fun mother/daughter activities. She shared something that her and her daughter do together weekly and it reminded me of when I was a child and my mother and I would read together your book Are You There, God? It's Me Margaret. Thank you for inspiring me and making such a difference in my life through your novels. Your stories resonate with me over the years from childhood into adulthood. Loves! 🙂
Sincerely,
Gleenobly
