About this book
It's Not the End of the World is a young adult novel written by Judy Blume and published in 1972. One of Blume's earliest novels, it deals with adolescence and navigating divorce.
Summary
Can Karen keep her parents from getting a divorce? This classic novel from Judy Blume has a fresh new look.
Karen couldnâÈçt tell Mrs. Singer why she had to take her Viking diorama out of the sixth-grade showcase. She felt like yelling, âÈêTo keep my parents from getting divorced!âÈë But she couldnâÈçt say it, and the whole class was looking at her anyway.
KarenâÈçs world was ending. Her father had moved out of the house weeks before; now he was going to Las Vegas to get divorced, and her mother was pleased! She had only a few days to get the two of them together in the same room. Maybe, if she could, they would just forget about the divorce. Then the Newman family could be its old self againâÈ'maybe. But Karen knew something she didnâÈçt know last winter: that sometimes people who shouldnâÈçt be apart are impossible together.
