It's Not The End Of The World / Then Again, Maybe I Won't / Deenie

This omnibus gathers three of Judy Blume's novels for young readers, each following a different young person through a difficult stretch of family life or growing up. In one, a girl watches her parents' marriage come apart and tries to cope with the changes at home. Another follows a boy who must adjust to a new neighborhood and a new school while facing the first stirrings of adolescence. The third concerns a girl who learns she must wear a back brace to treat a spinal condition and worries about how it will affect her body, her friendships and her plans. Each story is candid about the ordinary anxieties of childhood.
