Librarians save lives by handing the right book at the right time to a kid in need.

I am a big defender of 'Harry Potter,' and I think any book that gets kids to read are books that we should cherish, we should be thankful for them.

When I started to write, it was the '70s, and throughout that decade, we didn't have any problems with book challenges or censorship.

Little kids are amazing. They seem able to adjust to anything.

Ideas come from everywhere - they come from what you see and hear and imagine.

When I'm writing a book, you can't think about your audience. You're going to be in big trouble if you think about it. You're got to write from deep inside.

I am not scared of you, I am scare of these feelings.
