2 of 5 people found the following review helpful: Disappointed but Well-Liked, December 31, 2005 A Kid's Review I-reading all of Judy Blume's books-was rather disappointed with Then Again, Maybe I Wont. Maybe it's because I am a girl and it's coming from a boy's point of veiw...I really am not sure...but it other than that it was good. Some parts were unrealistic. Why would a fifth(going in to sixth) grader(the narrator and main charecter) watch a girl get undressed from his window??? Once again, maybe I don't understand the thrill...it just seems like something an older boy[maybe eighth grader) would do......anyways NOT recommended to anyone under the age of 12-the book talks about some mature things...

6 of 7 people found the following review helpful: Delicate sentimentality, June 2, 2001 By Casey Ahn - See all my reviews Judy Blume's wonderful book should not be missed by any child about to enter the turbulent years of adolescence. When I first read this book as a fifth-grader, it mean little to me beyond the facially charming stories. As I travelled down the sometimes-painful corridors of pubescence, it became a constant companion that helped me through the ever-increasing trials. I, too, had an "older sister" that was the subject of my ocular ministrations. This book is real, in a way that I truly needed at that critical time. I hope everyone derives as much benefit from it as I have. Even now, I think back on those few crucial passages with visible delight. Many's the time . . .

The one detail I remember from that book is that the dad got rich from inventing those adapters that turn two-pronged outlets into grounded three-prong outlets.

i remember my 3rd grade class was discussing authors we liked w/our teacher and someone mentioned judy bloom and our teacher was all well i think the superfudge books are great but the rest are a little too adult for you kids. so naturally i was like oh i gotta check these out.

JD Fitzgerald books = the Great Brain and those books are great - altho the kids were not mormons themselves, they are Irish Catholics.

and they didn't really fight crimes so much as rip off the other, stupider kids.
