Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.

I Always Had Stories Inside My Head And One Day I Just Decided To Start Writing Them Down. I Didn't Actually Decide.

It Was A Such A Surprise, Such An Absolute Shocking Surprise To Me To Not Know What You're Doing And To Find Out That This Thing That You Don't Even Know How To Do, That You're Sure You Don't Know How To Do, Speaks To So Many People And Touches So Many People In Some Way.

[writing] Totally Changed My Life. It Gave Me My Life. Everything Opened Up.

"margaret" Was Just My Truth. It Was What I Knew To Be True About Sixth Grade.

Books Opened Up A Whole New World To Me. Through Them I Discovered New Ideas, Traveled To New Places, And Met New People. Books Helped Me Learn To Understand Other People And They Taught Me A Lot About Myself. ... Some Books You Never Forget. Some Characters Become Your Friends For Life.
