Blume-ing Brilliant: Best-Selling Author To Release First Adult Book In Over 10 Years

We've waited forever for this...

Rebecca McKnight

Best-selling author Judy Blume is set to release her first adult book in more than 10 years (and if you couldn’t tell already, we are VERY excited about it).

The novelist confirmed in a statement that her new work will be released next year but didn’t disclose any further details.

She said: “I’m both thrilled and terrified, my usually feelings at this point. I’ll be hiding out this summer revising, my favourite part of the process”.

Blume’s editor at publishing house Knopf Carole Baron revealed that it will be in keeping with her other books which include Forever…, Tiger Eyes, Summer Sisters and Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret.

“It’s pure Judy Blume, writing about family and about friendships, about love, about betrayal,” she told the New York Times. “It’s quintessential Judy”.
