signing in NYC on March 22
So David Levithan, YA guru and all-around great guy, has organized a NYC Teen Author Festival this year (see schedule below). I'll be taking part in the The Biggest Teen Author Signing EVER on Sunday, March 22 at 4pm at Books of Wonder. Come on down (or up, over, across town)! If you don't see me near my stack of books, it's because I'm chasing down all my favorite YA authors for signatures of my own.
Check out the schedule below. Wow.

I went to the signing on the 22 and got your book. I just finished it. It is FABULOUS! It is now one of my favorites. Thanks for such a great character in Virginia. I love to see a girl in a book figure things out and love herself. I'll have to get another copy to recommend to my students.
