I still remember the first line from Forever...something about how Sybil Davis had been laid by five different guys. I asked my mom what "laid" meant and she took the book away until I was a few years older :) I did find the covers jarring...I'm used to the circa 1970s covers!! I loved this quiz, too!

My mom bought me nearly all of her books when I was growing up. I can't remember how many times I read the Fudge series, Sally J. Freidman, or Then Again Maybe I Won't. I can't wait for my two kids to be old enough so I can share Judy Blume with them. One of my all-time favourite authors. My mom bought me nearly all of her books when I was growing up.

I wasn't allowed to read Judy Blume, but found a way... my Grandmother got Judy Blume confused with Beverly Cleary, and forbade me from ready any Beverly Cleary in the house when I stayed there. Judy Blume was safe, though. I never bothered to correct her. Loved this quiz.

This quiz brought back so many memories. I have just handed over some of my old Judy Blume books to my 9 year old daughter. I am now on a mission to buy "Sally J Freidman" as it has gotten lost and was one of my very favorites. BTW - Mouse Ellis of "Sheila the Great" lived in Tarrytown, NY, not Maine. It doesn't change the answer to the question though. Yea!! This quiz brought back so many memories. I have just handed over some of my old Judy Blume books to my 9 year old daughter.
