* Reviews *
Authors Teens Love series. Blume's pioneering spirit and unwillingness to bow to censorship stand out in this lightweight chronicle of her life and writing. The main text is interspersed with many quotes from previous interviews, books, and websites. A few photographs of Blume and some other stock photos are included. The cartoonish cover is not likely to attract the series' target teen audience. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind., The Horn Book Guide Spring 2009
