(born February 12, 1938) is an American author. She has written many novels for children and young adults which have exceeded sales of 80 million and been translated into 31 languages.
Blume's novels for teenagers were among the first to tackle racism (Iggie's House), menstruation (Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.), divorce (It's Not the End of the World, Just As Long As We're Together), bullying (Blubber), masturbation (Deenie; Then Again, Maybe I Won't) and teen sex (Forever). Blume has used these subjects to generate discussion, but they have also been the source of controversy regarding age-appropriate reading.
Judy Blume’s classic 1981 novel Tiger Eyes will be on the big screen. The film version of the novel, directed by the author's son Lawrence Blume, is starring Willa Holland as Davey and Amy Jo Johnson as Gwen Wexler. The Tiger Eyes movie is currently in production with a projected release date sometime in 2012.
