![]() ![]() In Then Again, Maybe I Won't, Blume asks herself what it would be like to be a twelve-year-old boy. This novel adds to Blume's extensive collection of literature for young adults. ![]() Published by Bradbury Press, Inc., Blume wrote Then Again, Maybe I Won't in 1971. ![]() John Gough notes in School Librarian that, "Judy Blume is concerned to describe characters surviving, finding themselves, growing in understanding, coming to terms with life." (School Librarian) She is best known for her novels about middle-class children, which discuss problems of young people from their point of view and in their own language. Luckily, we have authors that write novels about the very issues we will be confronted with during our adolescent years. We have to face the challenges and confusion that life throws our way. Unfortunately, it isn't possible to stay in "Never-Never Land" for the rest of our lives. If we had known growing up and being a teenager would be so confusing, all of us would probably want to stay babies forever. ![]()
