I hope someday to meet you - I always find myself smiling and agreeing with you. Middle grade and young adult writers are some of the BEST in the business.

I read Everything, Everything this summer and could not put it down.... and it isn't a book I would ever bring into the classrooms where I teach (my students are too young). A good book is a good book.

Now that I'm not in a classroom anymore, I worry that I will miss out on some of the great books that are going around. I'll have to find a way to stay connected to them because I love that genre so much!Jennifer Laffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00409566035103972341noreply@blogger.com
