    My biggest problem is my brother, Farley Drexel Hatcher. Everybody calls him Fudge. I feel sorry for him if he’s going to grow up with a name like Fudge, but I don’t say a word. It’s none of my business. Fudge is always in my way. He messes up everything he sees. And when he gets mad he throws himself flat on the floor and he screams. And he kicks. And he bangs his fists. The only time I really like him is when he’s sleeping. He sucks four fingers on his left hand and makes a slurping noise. When Fudge saw Dribble he said, “Ohhhhh . see!” And I said, “That’s my turtle, get it? Mine! You don’t touch him.” Fudge said, “No touch.” Then he laughed like crazy.

  • Reading Judy Blume's Forever in the #Metoo
    “You can’t go back to holding hands.” Reading Judy Blume’s Forever in the #MeToo Era JENNA SPIERING UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA KATE KEDLEY ROWAN UNIVERSITY INTRODUCTION “Look Kath…” she said, “I’ve always been honest with you about sex…” “I know.” “But you have to be sure you can handle the situation before you jump into it…sex is a commitment...once you’re there you can’t go back to holding hands.” “I know it.” “And when you give yourself both mentally and physically...well, you’re completely vulnerable.” Judy Blume’s novel Forever (1975) was one of the first young adult novels to tackle topics like teenage sex, pregnancy, and orgasms (Cart, 2016). At the time of publication in 1975, Forever was met with social outrage and book challenges across the country. Because sex and sexuality are spoken of so frankly, over the decades many adults were compelled to try to keep the book out of adolescent hands (Eccleshare, 1996; Karolides, Burress, & Kean, 1993). However, for those young readers who could get their hands on the book, Forever tackled topics youth were interested in, and furthermore, it addressed topics that were not frequently discussed openly in schools or even at home. Despite being published in 1975, Forever has remained a book that both teenagers and adults are familiar with almost forty-five years later. Thanks to a rebranding of more recent editions by Simon & Schuster and MacMillan, and content that does not read as dated, the book masquerades on any library, classroom, or bookstore shelf as a contemporary realistic teen drama akin to a book by Sarah Dessen or Jenny Han.
