Book recommendations for a Judy Blume/ Paula Danziger fan

[aparty]

dd loves books written in the 1st person and set in a normal every day life. She's devoured all the Judy Blume books and has also enjoyed some Paula Danziger, they all seem to be out of print which is a shame! So the covers look really dated but she has managed to look past that.

is there anything similar that's more modern?

She's enjoyed quite a few Jacqueline Wilson but is quite picky with which ones.

What age is your DD?

I can but depends on her age....

I loved this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Beginners-Love-Norma-Klein/dp/0449702375

But it's quite adult- similar to forever by Judy blume.

15 by beverley cleary

My darling my handburger by paul zindel....again quite adult...and dated. Girl gets pregnant and has an illegal abortion.

Oh sorry that would've helped, she's a quite mature 10

Ah yes definitely not at the "forever" stage yet! Not ready for Ralph 🤣

I loved Judy Blume and Paula Danziger !
Other American authors who were similar...
Caroline B Cooney
Lois Lowry
Ann M Martin
(a lot are out of print but available on sites like Abe Books)
British authors similar to Jacqueline Wilson...
Jean Ure
Cathy Cassidy.
She has good taste 😍

OMG Ralph 🤢 I always pictured Ralph with a little face drawn on.

Of all the Judy Blume books "Forever" is the worst one.
Not for those naughty sex scenes but for incredibly dull characters with no personalities 😂

In which case disregard all of the ones I've said- they're completely inappropriate!!
