A Barton asked Tracey Garvis Graves:

Do you have a person who's on the autism spectrum in your life? If so, how did your experience with them effect your latest book?

Tracey Garvis Graves Hi there!

I do not have anyone among my immediate family or friends who are on the autism spectrum. Because I did not have any firsthand experience with ASD, I relied on extensive research to make sure I wrote the character of Annika with sensitivity and authenticity. She had so many wonderful gifts to offer the people in her life and is by far one of my favorite characters.

I hope this answers your question. :)

Best,

Tracey

I know you have said there will be no sequel to "On the Island", so why is it called "The Island #1"? It gives us false hope for more books about people stranded on islands lol.

Martha asked Tracey Garvis Graves:

I hope the movie starts developing faster, because I can't wait to see it!!! On the Island is one of my all time favorite books, and have read too many time to count! I absolutely love that story! What inspired you to write this story? I can't tell you enough how glad I am you did!
