What Judy Blume Forever does is capture just how important, just how impactful the work of one author can be to people all over the world. ![]() For a sports nut such as myself, my reading consisted of books on Michael Jordan or Sports Illustrated for Kids, but for young girls the writing of Judy Blume has had a massive impact. She was without a doubt a popular and well-known author for my early childhood times and now that I’ve seen Judy Blume Forever, I never knew how important her writing truly was. But no matter if it was junior high, high school, or college, I saw a Judy Blume book in the library, or on someone’s desk, or in a backpack. I loved the Fudge series and read those but that’s about it. I wasn’t a big reader of Judy Blume’s books but they were always around. ![]() STARRING: JUDY BLUME, MOLLY RINGWALD, SAMANTHA BEEĪ’s RATING: 3 ½ STARS (Out of 4) ![]()
