Hi! I just want to say thank you for your books. Speak was a really brave book to come out with and I think it helped a lot of people find their voices, and I also really liked Vet Volunteers, even though they were for middle grade children as I learned a lot about animals. Looking forward to reading and discovering more of your work!
