Judy,

I'm an eighteen year old girl who vividly remembers reading your novels during my pre-teen years. They helped me get through hundreds of fights with my parents, my own self-esteem issues, bullying problems, and the like. So thank you for being such a profound writer. Also, thanks for doing this AMA! I have a few questions for you today:

• Did you keep a journal throughout your teenage years? If so, how do you feel when you revisit them?

• Where did you learn to capture the awkward moments of preteen-hood so accurately and beautifully?

• What are some of your favourite recently-published young adult novels?

What is one common mishap that the average person tends to make on the Internet, from a security standpoint?

Do you believe that an interdisciplinary education in the sciences is more valuable than one that is highly specialized in one subject, at least in undergrad?

Hey guys, I had the pleasure of meeting you as a PlusOne volunteer at your London show last month! Thanks for being amazing. My question: what are your favourite songs to cover?
