Amy Randall asked Bill Konigsberg:

I've just been given a dream job in a small, rural high school library. Our fiction section is sad in many ways; the most glaring is an absence of LGBT young adult fiction. Would you be so kind as to give me your top ten must haves? I have my favs, but I'd rather the kids heard it directly from you. I'll gladly spend my own money on them so my students know their voices are alive and well in fiction. Thanks!
