Verónica asked Laurie Halse Anderson:

I finished Speak a few days ago and I JUST LOVE IT! I've already read Wintergirls and you always surprise me :) None describes feelings and thoughts like you! Sometimes it scares me a little bit how well you do it haha My questions are: How can u do it? Who inspires u? people u know or u just create the characters?

Sarah
Sarah asked Laurie Halse Anderson:

In 'Wintergirls', why are they called Wintergirls instead of ghosts?

Gayle Forman
Gayle Forman asked Laurie Halse Anderson:

Hi Laurie: You change the face of YA with SPEAK. The book is a classic now. But it's still controversial. I'm curious to know how people reacted when they first read it, given there was no precedent to it in modern YA. Because you set the precedent.
