Judy Blume's Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret to be adapted for film

After half a century of batting off Hollywood offers, beloved US children’s author agrees to movie version of her best-known novel

Forty-eight years after its publication, Judy Blume’s seminal young adult novel, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, is to be adapted for cinema.

Following many decades rejecting the advances of film producers, Blume tweeted in August that she was having meetings in Hollywood to discuss possible movie versions of her books, and invited readers’ opinions on which title would be best suited to the big screen. “I think the time has come,” she said.

Thanks to all for chiming in on my question about which titles of mine you’d like to see on screen. No deals are in place but It was a great week of talking about the possibilities. Promise I’ll let you know more when I do. I’m so grateful to all of you. Xo
