Judy Blume: New Classicism for Kids.
Garber, Stephen M.
English Journal, v73 n4 p56-59 Apr 1984
Argues that Judy Blume's novels are not so much the recreation of closely observed individuals but the fleshing out of general life processes from the statistics of contemporary psychology. Points out the need for books that do not simply stress accepting things as they are but encourage the hope of changing reality through individual effort. (MM)
