The highest praise is when a kid says, 'This book feels so real; this could have happened at my school.'
Books seem so much more - much more sacred to me, and more important and essential, than they were when I was young.
I'm ashamed to admit this, but I didn't read a novel all the way through until after high school. Blasphemy, I know. I'm an author now. Books and words are my world.
