No one ever told Margaret Simon that eleven-going-on- twelve
would be such a hard age. When her family moves to New
Jersey, she has to adjust to life in the suburbs, a
different school, and a whole new group of friends.
Margaret knows she needs someone to talk to about growing
up-and it's not long before she's found a solution.
Are you there God? It's me, Margaret. I can't wait until
two o'clock God. That's when our dance starts. Do you
think I'll get Philip Leroy for a partner? It's not so much
that I like him as a person God, but as a boy he's very
handsome. And I'd love to dance with him... just once or
twice. Thank you God.
