玛格丽特·西蒙快12岁了,她的家刚从纽约市区搬到郊区。就在她为怎样融入新朋友中而发愁时,她获邀加入一个秘密俱乐部,她于是欣然接受。当俱乐部的女孩们都在谈论男同学、胸罩、初潮等问题时,玛格丽特才发现自己知之甚少。关于成长,玛格丽特有一些疑问,即使是跟朋友也难以启齿。幸运的是,她找到了另外的倾诉对象。
Margaret Simon, almost 12, has just moved from New York City to the suburbs, and she's anxious to fit in with her new friends. When she's asked to join a secret club she jumps at the chance. But when the girls start talking about boys, bras, and getting their first periods, Margaret starts to wonder if she's normal. There are some things about growing up that are hard for her to talk about, even with her friends. Lucky for Margaret, she's got someone else to confide in.
