David asked Laurie Halse Anderson:

Hello Laurie! I am a high school Social Studies teacher and my English colleague and I have been trying to promote literacy among our students. Your books have been an absolute gift for our students. They are by far the most popular choice this year. Your versatility as an author is so impressive. We wanted to see if you would be interested in participating in our google online book club based on Chains? :)

Laurie Halse Anderson The sad fact that it has taken me weeks to respond to your kind invitation (I'm sorry!! I'm so sorry!!) gives you the answer. I am fortunate to be so busy with writing, speaking, and traveling, but I simply can't promise to add anything else to the work load.

But thank you so much for promoting literacy with your students - teachers like you make the world a MUCH better place!

Hendrick Amt asked Laurie Halse Anderson:

I've read TWISTED a thousand times (23 to be more honest) and it's just so amazing. I couldn't fight the urge to make sure I show my appreciation towards the book and Author. The whole farther son relationship that was portrayed in book was beautiful, thank you so much for such an amazing book. Since I think a question is required i will go ahead and ask will there be a sequel to the book?

Harriet Limpot

Harriet Limpot asked Laurie Halse Anderson:

When I read Speak, even though I totally had no major problem in whatever aspect of my life ever since, I genuinely felt the pain Melinda was hiding in. How does it make you feel that so many people appraise this particular piece of work you've done?

Jacky Rodz

Jacky Rodz asked Laurie Halse Anderson:

Greetings I am an English Professor in the Bilingual School Luis Muñoz Iglesias in Cidra, Puerto Rico. Recently, my students from 11th grade read your novel "Speak" for my class. As a teacher, I assign them the novel because of its meaning and the importance it has for young people and even us teachers. Most of my students asked about if the novel was based on a real life story?
