Judy Blume was a pioneer in the genre of young adult literature. Her best-selling books covered taboo topics like menstruation, divorce, bullying, and sexuality, making her a target for book bans and censorship. In the face of opposition, she fought back, championing librarians and booksellers. Journalist Mark Oppenheimer has written a new biography of Blume, covering all of this and more, exploring how her work continues to shape what kids should read. Join Oppenheimer in conversation about Blume.
