Karen Newman has decided she’ll never get married. Just look at her parents. All they do is fight. And now Karen’s dad has moved out of the house and he and her mom are talking about divorce. Her older brother has locked himself away in his room, her little sister is a mess, and she can’t bring herself to talk about any of it with her best friend. She’s never felt so alone. Yet in spite of everything Karen is sure she can set things right again if only she can get her parents together in the same room. Or will her fantasy backfire?

    I think the book it's not the end of the world was a great book. It is great for kids parents who are getting in a divorce. This book thought me a lot of lessons about divorces and how kids handle their parents divorce. I think it was one of the best books I ever read. But the reason why I am dating it 4 stars is because the book didn't end properly, everything was still going on and the parents weren't 100% divorced yet. But the rest of the book was great. I hope you read this book. And I also hope you enjoy this book as much as I did

    Dear Judy Blume, I hope you can read this , because I've got something to say. My father has a real bit of a temper problem and now on the night of September 15th 2013 , me and my big brother who is 2 years older than me have given up on him ,but my little sister dawn who is 2 years younger than me hasn't given up yet. I am 12 years old and I'm in 7th grade, I'll be 13 in December. So, at this point all of us don't know what to do. I'm not sure if my mother and father are getting divorced, being on trial separation or what. So if you can help please write back. Sincerely the one you've inspired, Lynsey Grover
