From the Publisher

She calls her popular website Old Hag, but there's nothing grandmotherly about 30-something Lizzie Skurnick's response to teen novels. In fact, this former Johns Hopkins creative writing teacher has contributed her own novels to the Sweet Valley University, Love Stories, and Alias series. In Shelf Discovery, this frequent NPR contributor reflects on teen reading that continues to resonate. A perfect fit for eager readers.
