Judy Blume Deenie & Iggie's House Paperback Books

Judy Blume Dennie & Iggies's House Paperback Books $8.00 set (Retails $20+) Deenie's mother wants her to be a model, with her face on magazine covers — maybe even in the movies — but Deenie wants to spend Saturdays with her friends Janet and Midge, tracking Harvey Grabowsky, the captain of the football team, around Woolworth's. She wants to be a cheerleader, too, and go to the seventh-grade mixer to hear Buddy Brader play his drums. Instead, Deenie is diagnosed with scoliosis. And that means body stockings to squeeze into, a roomful of strangers to face, and a terrifying brace that she'll need to wear for years that goes from her neck to her hips. Suddenly Deenie has to cope with a kind of specialness that's frightening — and might be hers forever. & When it comes to friendship, who cares about skin color? This classic middle grade novel from Judy Blume carries an important message — with a fresh new look. Iggie's House just wasn't the same. Iggie was gone, moved to Tokyo. And there was Winnie, cracking her gum on Grove Street, where she'd always lived, with no more best friend and two weeks left of summer. Then the Garber family moved into Iggie's house — two boys, Glenn and Herbie, and Tina, their little sister. The Garbers were black and Grove Street was white and always had been. Winnie, a welcoming committee of one, set out to make a good impression and be a good neighbor. That's why the trouble started. Because Glenn and Herbie and Tina didn't want a “good neighbor.” They wanted a friend. . Smoke free home. Message to arrange an afternoon/evening pick up ONLY.
