Her books were amongst the first I read. I remember tales of a 4th grade nothing (about a boy whose younger brother is driving him crazy and eats his pet turtle), Then again Maybe I won't (about a 7th or 8th grader who is beginning to have wet dreams), and Blubber (about a girl everyone at school makes fun of). The books were poignantly well written, and reflected preteen life very well.
