Both authors write witty, character-driven novels for tweens and teens about growing up and dealing with problems at home or school. Judy Blume also writes for adults; Megan McDonald is primarily a children's book author. -- CJ Connor
Although Lois Lowry ventures into speculative territory, unlike Judy Blume, both prolific youth literature legends specialize in authentic, believable characters. As pioneers in the middle grade and YA fields, their beloved works remain controversial despite constant, long-lasting acclaim from librarians and readers. -- Autumn Winters
Perhaps best known for their game-changing realistic fiction for teens, Jason Reynolds and Judy Blume upended their respective eras by presenting authentic young characters in believable situations. They share a gift for spot-on dialogue, sparkling humor, and candid examination of what can be seen as 'controversial' topics. -- Autumn Winters
Judy Blume and Lauren Myracle share an intense sensitivity to the inner lives of preteen and teen girls. Both limn the coming-of-age experience with exquisite delicacy, understanding that the smallest moments will resonate with their characters for the rest of their lives. -- Autumn Winters
In their relatable realistic fiction centering on middle schoolers, Judy Blume and Paula Chase capture the extraordinary in everyday life with their deep understanding of the high stakes of social hierarchy and the choices that young people are able and unable to make about their own identities. -- Autumn Winters

Published Reviews
School Library Journal Review
Gr 3-6Author Judy Blume reads this lively recording of her novel (Dutton, pap. 1972), and her voice perfectly personifies Sheila's scrappiness and bravado. Listeners will be drawn easily into the familiar story of Sheila's summer escapadescity kid transplanted to the suburbs where she's forced to deal with her fears and misconceptions about dogs, swimming, and not being the preeminent know-it-all she always thought she was. When she and Mouse Ellis become friends, Sheila learns that saving face is not necessary to keep a friendship. The story harkens back to the time when children lived with two parents in cozy neighborhoods and met in the afternoons at the pool. Listeners will be charmed by the story's strong female heroine and will happily follow Sheila through her summer adventures.Marcia Brightman, Mark's Meadow Laboratory School, Amherst, MA (c) Copyright 2010.
