About this listen

Bullying sucks, but true friendship is worth fighting for. From the author of Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, Judy Blume's Blubber is a sensitive exploration of bullying and self-esteem.

Blubber is a thick layer of fat that lies under the skin and over the muscles of whales . . .

When Linda innocently reads out her class project, everyone finds it funny. Linda can't help it if she's fat, but what starts as a joke leads to a sustained and cruel ritual of humiliation. Jill knows she should defend Linda, but at first she's too scared. When she eventually stands up to the bullies, she becomes their next victim – and what's worse, Linda is now on their side . . .

I am revisiting these titles, and they really do remain relevant throughout the years. Bullying is such an important subject to address.

So powerful

I loved the book! It was great, the only thing was that it was all about body image stuff and bullying. It’s good that Judy Blume is raising awareness. In my opinion I’d say the book is suitable for 9 or 10+ ( it kind of depends on the person or what the parent is comfortable with)
Anyway the story was great and the part at the bar mitzvah was my favourite.
OVERALL A GREAT BOOK
