In Lionsgate's big-screen adaptation of Judy Blume's classic & groundbreaking novel, 11-year-old Margaret (Abby Ryder Fortson) is uprooted from her life in New York City for the suburbs of New Jersey, going through the messy and tumultuous throes of puberty with new friends in a new school.

Margaret's mother is Christian and her father is Jewish. She has been raised without an affiliation to either faith, and does not practice an organized religion, although she frequently prays to God in her own words, beginning by saying, "Are you there God? It's me, Margaret." A timeless coming-of-age story with insightful humour & candid exploration of life's biggest questions.
