* OnceOriginalNowOverdone: There have been constant books, TV shows, and movies made about the nature of bullying, especially among preteen and teenage girls, since 1974. As such, it's easy to write off ''Blubber'' as trite and the behavior of its characters as not that bad. But when Blume first published the novel, it was groundbreaking--''no one'' had written a story that subverted the ChildrenAreInnocent trope. ''Blubber'' was even protested and banned because of the vicious, unrelenting bullies in the story. In short, Blume [[NotHyperbole literally wrote the book]] on this type of character.
