Ilustration In Favor Of Books Blubber
Blubber is a good name for her, the note from Wendy says about Linda. Jill crumples it up and leaves it on the corner of her desk. She doesn't want to think about Linda or her dumb report on the whale just now. Jill wants to think about Halloween.But Robby grabs the note, and before Linda stops talking it has gone halfway around the room.
That's where it all starts. There's something about Linda that makes a lot of kids in her fifth-grade class want to see how far they can go -- but nobody, least of all Jill, expects the fun to end where it does.

Im not sure what the first Judy Blume book I read wasit may have been Freckle Juicebut my love for her definitely ignited when our teacher read us Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing when I was in the fourth grade class of St. Marys. I read a lot, but Judy Blume was the first author I really loved and that love demanded I read all of her books available at the time (including Wifey, which I...regret.) I had a boxed set of her books which included Nothing, my beloved Are You There God? It's Me,I finished this book days ago and here I sit, still not entirely sure how to review this. I didn't like the book...much. I hated Jill. I never found anything to like about her at all. She went along with the crowd and even when the tables were turned, she showed no compassion at all, with the attitude of "She shouldn't let other people get to her."The bullying was traumatic to read about. I'd been bullied as a child in the 70s and this brought back a lot of bad memories. Things happened here
Ouch! I absolutely despised this book! I usually like this author, and have enjoyed quite a few of her books, but this really made me mad. Usually when a book is about bullying there are at least one person who isn't a bad person right? Or at least they learn some sort of lesson or change at some point.. In this book, NOPE! There was not a single like able person or teachable moment in this, and being geared towards kids I think this is an AWFUL book for kids to read because kids learn from

The genius of this book is not that it doesn't impart any moral, it does, but it does so subtly, without condescension. There's no comeuppance for the ringleading bully, no adult interference to save the tormented. Hell, the girl who is picked on isn't all that sympathetic. It's a dark little book, and the darkness works beautifully.
This book was so sad! I almost cried 5 different times! But, "Blubber" also gave me a new insight on bullying. I used to think most bullies had a rough life and/or family, etc. But, "Blubber" let me know that not every bully has to have extremely hard times. Like Jill, some people may just be influenced by a bossy "friend.""Blubber" was heartbreaking and heartwarming, but... the ending! Ughhh!! Tracy, the target of bullying from the girls at school was just left alone at the end of the book.
I LOVE Judy Blume. She is my childhood for sure. When I think about how my love of reading started it was the Big 3 (for me)- Judy Blume, Beverly Cleary and Ann M Martin.I remember reading this one in school but not much about it. It's basically about bullying a girl named Linda, whom everyone calls Blubber (because shes overweight and she does an oral report in class about whales). I didn't realize what a JERK the main character was. Usually books about bullying are told through the eyes of the
