About this ebook
A powerful story about the devastating effects of bullying and the unbreakable bonds of true friendship.
From the beloved author of Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, Judy Blume's Blubber is a sensitive exploration of bullying, self-esteem, and the challenges of growing up.
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 overweight, 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 . . .
In this classic novel, Blume sensitively addresses issues of body image, peer pressure, and the importance of self-confidence. Blubber is a must-read for anyone who has ever faced the challenges of fitting in and standing up for what's right.
