Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret by Judy Blume (A "Top 50 Post")
This isn't a book. This is girlhood distilled. Perfectly described. I can't even begin to tell you when it was written, either, because it just exudes timelessness.
I don't know what it is about books either, but so many of them seem to be about girls who are terrified of having a chest, shaving, and, of course, starting their periods. I'm sure those girls are out there, but Blume captures what I remember -- that all consuming desire to grow up. NOW!
We must! We must! We must increase our busts!
