My job as an author is to tell the story in the best way possible, to make it flow seamlessly and get the reader to keep turning the page.

There are so many ways to tell a story. With multiplatform books, we are reimagining what literacy can be.

I travel to a lot of schools, and I see firsthand that while we do still have a lot of traditional readers, we don't have as many as we used to. And we're missing an awful lot of kids entirely... Do I want to get rid of the Internet? Obviously, I don't want that because of all the amazing things it brings.

I'm a relic, and things were a lot different when I was fifteen and sixteen. There were no cell phones, no laptops... I learned to type on an actual typewriter.
