I love SHARK GIRL, and I'm pleased to see/read that you do too.<BR/><BR/>Some people say all the wrong things when others are residing in a state of grief or shock. Some say the right things. Words hurt, words heal, but bottom line, words leave an impression. So does intent. I'd rather a person with good intentions not know what to say than a person with cruel intentions say something vindictive, but there are always those instances in which people say the wrong thing without really meaning to do so.<BR/><BR/>I'd love to see you chatting away on the readergirlz forum. If you still can't log in and you ever have questions you want to ask other readers or authors, please feel free to email them to me, and I'll post them for you. Shannon Hale's chat is tomorrow! :)Little Willowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17058463472836988047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-34803217684574892182008-05-21T19:05:01.459-04:002008-05-21T19:05:01.459-04:00When I read the book, I was astonished by how very <EM>right</EM> she got people's reactions. It was a gift to turn that awful part of her life into a book that challenges us to look at how we handle tragedy. And a gift to share the insight with us.MotherReaderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11274509991340797264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-70769206206292622862008-05-21T16:03:32.022-04:002008-05-21T16:03:32.022-04:00This was a wonderful interview!
