According to my wife, Blume's Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret. is a classic "coming of age" book for girls which teaches about menarche in a gentle and understanding way. I have never read that or any other of her books, but I do remember a couple of L'Engle's from a very long time ago.

I seem to remember it as being about a bunch of teenage girls all hoping to start their periods before the others, and one of them lying about it. It brought back a lot of unpleasant memories for me about peer pressure and bitchy girls that I'd just as soon forget.
