Summer Sisters is probably my least autobiographical book. The whole idea started with rowing down the pond. And I heard an explosion. I don't like sudden loud noises. They scare me. And then all these people came running down the hill and jumped in the water in their finery and a bride and groom was with them, and that's where it all started.

Margaret was just my truth. It was what I knew to be true about sixth grade.

Kids should read whatever they want to read. So I'm hoping that just like 15-year-olds read Summer Sisters, I'm hoping that they'll read this.

If all you leave in the library is books that you think speak to everyone, what are you going to have? You'd have nothing.

What I remember when I started to write was how I couldn't wait to get up in the morning to get to my characters.

I think about Lenaya and Hugh. Will they know how much I've changed this year? Will they have changed too? I'll wait until tomorrow to find out. And then it's possible I won't find out after all. Because some changes happen deep down inside of you. And the truth is, only you know about them. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be.

Determination and hard work are as important as talent.

I like one hair, tuna fish, the smell of rain and things that are pink. I hate pimples, baked potatoes, when my mother's mad, and religious holidays.

I don't really know exactly how it happened but I don't like the idea that I would ever have said I'm going to write about racism or puberty or bullying.
Judy Blume

Heavy petting, that was fun! That was good. And frankly, you know I wish kids would go back to it. It's very satisfying. And it's not as scary. So many girls, you know this. I mean they are having what we call sex. Right? They're having intercourse. They don't want to, they don't get anything out of it.

Things change…things happen…things you can’t even imagine when you’re young and full of hope.

I like to read fiction best and I like to write fiction, too.

The best books come from someplace inside. You don't write because you want to, but because you have to.

I love to watch movies.

Its all about your determination, I think, as much as anything. There are a lot of people with talent, but its that determination.

I am certainly a fearful person, but fearless in my writing. So there's that other person inside.
