"Great book for librarians, teachers and anyone who works with older kids or teens. It reminds us all of the tough problems some teens face and offers some book suggestions from kids/teens themselves. The teens wrote to authors of books that helped them with difficult life situations and to know that they aren't alone and aren't the only person who has this problem."
"AMAZING! This book made me laugh, made me cry, made me smile, and everything in between. Hearing what kids have to say about books they have read and how the stories have impacted their lives is truly heartwarming and inspiring. I would recommend this book to children, to teens, to adults, to teachers, to parents, and to anyone who wants to know why writers do what they do."
"Wow. What a great resource. The first letter is addressed to Laurie Halse Anderson about her book, Speak, and how this book helped the reader find her own voice after a similar incident. This book is filled with powerful letters to authors whose stories have touched the lives of kids. What's really cool are the responses to those letters by the authors. What this book gives me as a teacher, another resource of books that might help my own students. I highly recommend this book for all teachers and librarians. :)"
"Authors share letters received from students who read their books and have questions or something to share. This book touches on the REALLY difficult things young people grow through to become adults."
