Teenager Quotes
-
Character grows in the soil of experience with the fertilization of example, the moisture of ambition, and the sunshine of satisfaction.

Yet all too often in the academic world, that's exactly what we do by not focusing on the character development of young people.

It terrified me.

I write books for teenagers because I vividly remember what it felt like to be a teen facing everyday and epic dangers. I don't write to protect them. It's far too late for that.
