A review by paovilchis25
Blubber by Judy Blume

3.0

“ it’s very foolish to laugh if you don’t know what’s funny in the first place”

“It’s there more than one way to think”

“A person who can laugh at herself will be respected”

This was one of the books that you have in your tbr shelf for years, or that’s what happened to me. In the beginning I though this book had a lot of promise. The author had many opportunities to turn this into a moral story about the damages of bullying. But in the end it just turned out to be a superficial story even for a middle grade book.

The end of this book was painful to read. Jill never stands up for Linda so there is no moral of the story and it does not wrap up neatly. I was very disappointed by the end of this book.
