Ginger and the Snaps once said growing up is hard to do, and they weren’t kidding. Puberty is a gift and a curse unto itself. Add moving to a new city and family drama to the mix, and you’ve got a recipe for disaster. Lionsgate has revealed a gallery of images for Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret. The stills depict themes and characters from Judy Blume‘s classic novel, which some say is required reading for individuals in the throes of adolescents. The Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret images give a glimpse of the emotional journey to come, which arrives in theaters on April 28, 2023.

Kelly Fremon Craig (The Edge of Seventeen) directed and wrote the adaptation based on the book by Judy Blume. James L. Brooks, Julie Ansell, Richard Sakai, Kelly Fremon Craig, Judy Blume, Amy Lorraine Brookes, and Aldric La’auli Porter produce, with Jonathan McCoy executive producing.

Here’s the official synopsis for Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret:

For over fifty years, Judy Blume’s classic and groundbreaking novel Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. has impacted generations with its timeless coming-of-age story, insightful humor, and candid exploration of life’s biggest questions. In Lionsgate’s big-screen adaptation, 11-year-old Margaret (Abby Ryder Fortson) is uprooted from her life in New York City for the suburbs of New Jersey, going through the messy and tumultuous throes of puberty with new friends in a new school. She relies on her mother, Barbara (Rachel McAdams), who is also struggling to adjust to life outside the big city, and her adoring grandmother, Sylvia (Kathy Bates), who isn’t happy they moved away and likes to remind them every chance she gets. The film also stars Benny Safdie (Licorice PizzaGood Time) as Margaret’s father, Herb Simon.
