The book meant so much to so many people when they were growing up. "Reading Margaret was hugely helpful in my childhood," Alison Michael, who co-hosts the Blume Saloon podcast with Jody Worthington, tells BBC Culture. For the past six years they have been rereading Blume's oeuvre and reflecting on her work. Growing up, says Michael, "I didn't have a tonne of people to ask these questions of and reading the book, while having the same questions as Margaret about religion and periods, was really affirming." I wish people didn't have to choose between families and themselves, who they innately are," says McAdams. "I wish those things just had nothing to do with each other. Open-mindedness and tolerance is, to me, always the way. If someone's not hurting someone else, then I think anything goes.

A beloved and best-selling classic comes to the big screen with Lionsgate’s adaptation of Judy Blume’s Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. Starring Rachel McAdams, Kathy Bates, and Abby Ryder Fortson as Margaret, this timeless, coming-of-age story has transcended decades and spoken to generations. At 11, Margaret is moving to a new town and beginning to contemplate everything about life, friendship, and adolescence. She relies on her mother (McAdams), who offers loving support but is herself finding her own footing in a new place, and her grandmother Sylvia (Bates), who is coming to terms with finding happiness in the next phase of her life. For all three, questions of identity, one’s place in the world, and what brings meaning to a life will draw them closer together than ever before.I am such a fan of the book and such a fan of Judy. It was important to me to do right by her, to make a film that felt like a reflection of her and the spirit of her book," Craig says, describing the moment when Blume gave her the rights as "wildly surreal".
