Happy Birthday, Judy Blume! May your day be filled with more laughs than Peter Hatcher's adventures and fewer mishaps than Fudge's escapades. You've bravely tackled every awkward adolescent topic imaginable—from first crushes to the mysteries of menstruation—making generations giggle, blush, and sigh in relief.Your timeless tales continue to resonate today as much as ever. Thanks for teaching us that growing up is messy but survivable—and often hilarious. Here's hoping your birthday brings you joy worthy of a SuperFudge sequel (minus any turtle-swallowing incidents). Keep inspiring readers everywhere; after all these years, you're still our favorite "fourth-grade nothing!"
