MIDDLEBORO - Judy Blume’s novels were a childhood staple for millions of Americans. In her new book, “The Genius of Judy,” author Rachelle Bergstein dares to ask why.

Bergstein dives into the life of Blume and how a mid-60’s housewife became a groundbreaking author, and how generations of empowered fans are her legacy, today more than ever.

Bergstein will join readers virtually at the Middleboro Public Library for a conversation about the book on Wed., May 21, 2:00 p.m.
