I'm a member of SCBWI. I just finished the audio of Thirteen Reasons Why. I choose it in preparation for the upcoming SCBWI conference. I choose to blog about it because... I'm from a small town. In the past few years we have had an unprecedented number of teen suicides. Your book moved me from anger, to tears, to disbelief, to heartache and to joy. It was brilliant, thought provoking, insightful, tender--the list goes on. Anyway, I am recommending it to the guidance department at our high school. If I knew you, I would tell you I am proud of you-for daring to be so brave and honest. Kids need that.<BR/><BR/>Oh, as far as movies go, Robin, see both,Mama Mia for the music, Batman for the Drama.
