Status Updates From Are You There God? It’s Me,...

Margaret visits both the temple and a church and isn't really impressed by either. Her class has a Christmas-Hannukah pageant, and while she sees tension between the groups, she doesn't feel drawn to either of them. She shows the PTS girls her dad's Playboy. She attends the 6th grade square dance and receives an invite to Norman Fishbein's party, along with the rest of the class.

Margaret continues to go to school and makes her first trip to temple with Grandma.
