A.S. King and Jackie Morse Kessler are not only amazing authors, but also speak out against bullying. Plus, their books send an anti-bullying message that is realistic and not preachy and are just great reads!
Both writers have excellent vocabularies and in the interview, they tease students with fun words to add to their vocabulary word lists –provided they look them up! My favorite quote from the interview: ‘At some point, you need to know what ubiquitous means, even if it’s becoming rather ubiquitous.”
The take home message from this author interview: People with strong vocabularies are good looking-I think that is a pretty awesome idea to share with tweens and teens!
