Then Again, Maybe I Want

---

Then Again, Maybe I Won't is a classic coming-of-age fiction novel written from a male perspective by renowned adolescent fiction author Judy Blume. The story follows Tony Miglione, a thirteen-year-old boy whose life is turned upside down when his father’s invention suddenly makes the family wealthy, forcing them to move from a working-class neighborhood in Jersey City to an affluent suburb in Long Island. As Tony tries to fit into his new, status-conscious environment, he experiences intense internal conflicts, including the anxieties of male puberty, his mother's obsession with social climbing, and discovering his new friend's shoplifting habit. Unable to express his stress, Tony develops psychosomatic stomach pains. For Junior High School (SMP) students, this realistic fiction novel offers an excellent English literacy text that handles themes of identity, integrity, adolescent physical growth, and mental health with honesty and empathy.
