For decades Judy Blume’s books have garnered fans of all ages and sold tens of millions of copies. But why were people so drawn to them? And why are we still talking about them now in the 21st century?

You’re invited to an online intimate conversation with bestselling author Rachelle Bergstein as she chats about her newest book The Genius of Judy. This book takes an expansive look at Judy Blume’s life, work, and cultural impact, focusing on her most iconic—and controversial—young adult novels, from Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret to Blubber

About the Author:  Rachelle Bergstein is a lifestyle writer, author, and editor, focused on style, pop culture, and families. Her work has appeared in the New York Post, The New York Times, NPR, and more. She is the author of three books: Women from the Ankle DownBrilliance and Fire, and The Genius of Judy.
