I am sorry to say that I hadn't heard the name before and had to goggle her. Now I am just disappointed that her books apparently never really became popular enough here for me to stumble upon in my childhood.
No! Just looking the name up on Wikipedia makes me think I missed out on something big...
As one of the first authors to write young adult novels about controversial topics including masturbation, menstruation, teen sex, birth control, and death, Blume was a catalyst for the movement of controversial topics being expressed in children's and young adult literature.
That sounds awesome... and might be the reason the name wasn't represented in my local library! Damn.
it's strange but she was one of the few children's authors whose books I never read, Judy Blume yes, Beverly Cleary nope. So now of course I have to read them
