In this book, Margaret is an 11 year old pre-teen girl who is anxious about growing up. She just wants to fit in but worrying about puberty starts to get to her. Then she moves to New Jersey and starts hanging out with a new friend who then makes her start questioning her religion. She now has to pick a religion and she doesn't know what else to do but talk to God.
This is a great book to use with fifth grade girls because it deals with a lot of body issues and growing up and "becoming a women." It would be a great book to use during the few weeks that they are starting to learn about the process of growing up in health class. It also has to deal with the difficulties of having a different religion than most of your friends. Being accepted is very important for pre-teen girls, so it is important to teach students to accept their peer's differences.
