Kemper now:
I was not a fan of Superfudge, but I loved Blubber.  It was the first
time I laughed out loud in a book, learning that the written word
could be funny.

Blubber just got done with her report on whales and the narrator tells
us that the class wasn't clapping because the report was good, they
were clapping because it was over. I couldn't stop laughing and the
good Sister kicked me out.  

I also read Are You There God, It's Me Margaret in the fifth grade. 
As a boy without sisters, I didn't get it.  

And Blume's Then Again, Maybe I Won't did nothing to prepare me for
the onset of puberty.   Wtf was a nocturnal emission or a wet dream?
As a young sixth grader, this boy didn't know and didn't want to
appear to stupid by asking anyone.
