Alyssa Perkins
Alyssa Perkins asked Laurie Halse Anderson:

How did you know you wanted to write? Lately I've been feeling the itch to and will spend hours writing down random bits that I'm not quite sure I'll ever pull together in book form. Did it start out like that for you?

Fuentesfan
Fuentesfan asked Laurie Halse Anderson:

If you could tell a teen to read any book, which book would it be?

Elisabeth
Elisabeth asked Laurie Halse Anderson:

Dear Laurie, (love wintergirls!) Hello. I'm about to graduate from college and I'm 21. It took me a lot longer to get my associates because I had to take remedial classes, switched my curriculum etc. I wanted to transfer to receive my BA but I might have to take a year off because of financial reasons. I'm worried that by the time I get my BA I will be too old. I keep thinking negatively about my future. Any advice?
