Blume might want readers to understand that feeling left out can occur when one is in a new environment or situation, where everything feels unfamiliar and different.
Readers who have experienced moving to a new place or changing schools might recognize Margaret’s experience. The detail that supports this is the description of the new house and neighborhood, which emphasizes how everything looks the same and unfamiliar.
A detail that makes Margaret’s voice sound authentic is her candid reflection on her grandmother’s influence and the specific mention of the sweaters labeled "MADE EXPRESSLY FOR YOU... BY GRANDMA."
Her attitude seems amused when she talks about her grandmother knitting sweaters with labels, but also slightly annoyed by the influence her grandmother has on their family decisions.
