Title: Delicate sentimentality
Product review: Judy Blume's wonderful book should not be missed by any child about to enter the turbulent years of adolescence. When I first read this book as a fifth-grader, it mean little to me beyond the facially charming stories. As I travelled down the sometimes-painful corridors of pubescence, it became a constant companion that helped me through the ever-increasing trials. I, too, had an "older sister" that was the subject of my ocular ministrations. This book is real, in a way that I truly needed at that critical time. I hope everyone derives as much benefit from it as I have. Even now, I think back on those few crucial passages with visible delight. Many's the time . . .
