Ms. Collins Class
Dear Ms. Blume,
We just read "The Pain and the Great One". We really enjoyed your story because it was funny. We read it to encourage us to tell good stories like you do. Thanks for writing such an awesome book!
Sincerely,
Ms. Collins' Class

Dear Ms. Blume,
Thank you. My sister, who is by no means an avid reader, has been reading "Summer Sisters" every summer for as long as I can remember. This year I decided to experience for myself the novel which has captured her imagination for over a decade. What a beautiful and heartwarming story. I must say, Abby was my favourite character, she reminded me of my mother and in some ways reading your book felt like going home again. I plan on visiting Caitlin and Vix at the Vineyard again next summer. Brilliant!
All my best,
Daniel

It is such a pleasure to have my youngest child begin reading all about Fudge! These stories are absolutely timeless and I thank you for such wonderful story telling that has reached so many generations.

I grew up reading several of your books which helped me develop a love of reading. My 10 yr old son has no interest in reading. We have bought tons of books and tried everything. I begged him to read Tales of the 4th grade nothing. This is the first book that he will not put down. He wants to read the series now. He finally enjoys reading!
Leila
Hi Mrs.Blume I really like your books I wish that you could keep writing more books.

Thank you for giving those of us who grew up in Elizabeth such a wonderful bit of nostalgia. I lived on Pennington St and graduated from Lincoln school14,Hamilton and Battin. Although I was only 7 when the crashes happened I remember some of it. Great walk down memory lane
Melody and her dad Todd
During bedtime with Melody this week, she started telling me that her teacher is reading a book to them, and that one of the characters was named Fudge. To which I responded asking, "was it Tales of the Fourth Grade Nothing?" Her eyes LIT UP! She was shocked that I knew the book. I explained that I had read the same book 30+ years ago. She then recounted to me the first couple of chapters, and has been updating me as they go along each day. I am fondly remembering all the great times spent with Peter and Fudge and all the rest. What a special moment. Thank you Judy.

Dear Judy, Thank-you so much for writing "In the Unlikely Event." I read most of it in one sitting. I am a retired English teacher; however, if I was still teaching I would recommend "Unlikely" to my students. FYI, I will be recommending "Unlikely" at the Barnes and Noble web site. Maybe someday I will have the honor of meeting you.

As a teacher, I used Judy Blume books to capture a love of reading in my elementary students.
But the purpose of this email is to thank you for including the wonderful stories about Elizabeth, my hometown, in your book, "in the Unlikely Event." The book brought back a chance to go home again. My uncle was President of the Elizabeth Board of Education, my grandfather and his two sons owned a lumber yard, Peter Gold & Co. Down the port on First Street right down the block from The Singer plant, we lived in the Westminister section, my grandparents on Magee, I went to Vail-Deane, dated boys from Pingry, shopped on Broad Street, called the owners of Levy Brothers aunt and uncle. I even had my hair done at Connie's, which I had long forgotten. All these things and more were mentioned in your book. My dad actually ran to Janet Orphanage the night the plane crashed there. I hadn't thought about my first 13 years there until I read this book. Thank you for letting me go home again.

Just finished In the unlikely Event Great reading I went to Battin High Was not born until 1955. Nobody talked about the crashes. When I was junior in Battin you visited my English teacher Ms. Newman ( I think was her name) I always remember that. I have been teaching in Miami for 35 years. Your books are great for kids. But now I enjoyed the adult book very much. Thanks for all you write. Best Wishes.

Judy,
In my 27 years of life, I have never picked up a book and not set it down until I was finished until I read, Are You There God, Its Me Margret. It was such a great book, and reminded me of myself when I was growing up. I cannot wait to jump right into another one of your books.
Secondly, I really enjoyed reading your article on censorship, I believe it is wrong, and it breaks my heart to think people will stop writing books for the fear of being challenged. So many great books will never be able to be read.

Judy, I just wanted to say THANK YOU for such an amazing read - "In the Unlikely Event" was out of this world, favorite book so far! Thank you again for being the #1 writer!

Dear Ms. Blume,
I began reading your books when I was about 10 yrs old. I loved your books and read everything you wrote as your books became available. When I went to high school, we had to write a paper on our favorite author. No surprise, I wrote about you. I even reached out to you and you sent a personal letter to me. You apologized that my priority mail was not delivered to you in time to respond when you actually did. I was so excited that you took the time to write to me. Your books had and still have such an impact on me. Now, as a mother, I feel so privileged in sharing your books with my daughter. Thank you so very much for impacting so many lives!

Hey Judy, For the start of fourth grade my class and i read tales of a fourth grade nothing and we loved it. If your still writing books I would love it if you wrote the book in fudge's point of view. I wonder how Fudge felt when he tried to fly, when he cut off his hair and when he swallowed Dribble. In Peter's perspective the book was funny, But imagine the story in Fudge's head. So if your still writing stories could you please write it in Fudge's point of view?
CHAROLETTE
MS.JUDY I STARTED READING YOUR BOOKS WHILE IN SCHOOL I ENJOYED EVERYONE OF THEM PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT,S COMING

Dear Judy Blume,
I also love to read I have only read two of your books. They both were amazing!!! I can't wait to read your other books. I hope you'll think about my idea to make a sequel to "Starring Sally J. Freedman as Herself". I've been making up stories about Sally since I first read the book. Maybe I'll write you a letter.
Maggie Moo Moo
Dear Judy Blume,
I just finished reading "Staring Sally J. Freedman as herself" for the 2nd time. It's my favirote book EVER. If it was possibal you should write a sequel.

Dear Mrs. Blume,
First of all, I LOVE your books. My 4th grade class just finished reading Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing (Which I had read twice before.) I am a older sibling to a 6 year old brother, and I could totally relate to Peter. For example, when Fudge ate Dribble, Peter's turtle, I wanted to flatten Fudge, I was so mad! I love your writing, I love your books, and I love your style. Thank you for trying so hard to make miracles on a single piece of paper. You definitely succeeded!
Your Reader,
Jade
