I met Laurie Halse Anderson at the Rochester Teen Book Fair I went to with Amy Ganter, one of my artists, back in April or whatever, and I've got a signed copy of Prom that I now treasure. I hadn't read any of her stuff (or any of the other guest authors' stuff) before the event, but since then I've read two of her other novels, and really enjoyed them. Prom is clearly a more mature work than Speak or Catalyst, but all three are strong and inventive. We've been tossing around ideas in editorial about doing a manga revolving around quincenera parties, and I told the editor in charge that if we can make our manga anywhere close to as good and interesting as Prom, I will be very proud.
