The classic novel about bullying from the phenomenal Judy Blume. Reissued with an eye-catching new look.
Blubber is a thick layer of fat that lies under the skin and over the muscles of whales...
When Linda innocently reads out her class project, everyone finds it funny. Linda can't help it if she's fat, but what starts as a joke leads to a sustained and cruel ritual of humiliation. Jill knows she should defend Linda, but at first she's too scared. When she eventually stands up to the bullies, she becomes their next victim - and what's worse, Linda is now on their side...
Judy Blume was born in the New Jersey suburbs - often the setting of her books. When her two children started going to school, she took a course in creative writing at her old university, and an international publishing phenomenon followed. In addition to multi-million sales of her book and numerous awards, Judy is the recipient of an honorary 2004 National Book Award for her contribution to American Literature.
