Blubber is a children's novel by Judy Blume first published in 1974. The narrator is Jill Brenner, a Pennsylvania fifth-grader[1] who joins her classmates in ostracizing and bullying Linda, an awkward and overweight girl. Linda gives an oral class report about whales and is hence nicknamed "Blubber" by her peers.
