Laurie Halse Anderson
I wish I had cancer. I will burn in hell for that, but it's true.
Laurie Halse Anderson
I stand in the center aisle of the auditorium, a wounded zebra in a National Geographic special, looking for someone, anyone to sit next to. A predator approaches: gray jock buzz cut, whistle around a neck thicker than his head. Probably a social studies teacher, hired to coach a blood sport.
Laurie Halse Anderson
Rumors are spread by jealous people
Laurie Halse Anderson
