She has an amazing skill in writing books for this target audience. Her themes are poignant, relevant and interesting and her style readable.* As Margaret is very in-touch with young adults today (through her lecturing, teaching, penpal relationships, fan mail and school visits), she treats her subjects with sensitivity and knowledge but also with a certain fearlessness to 'show things as they are'. This ability has been part of Margaret's enormous success with her readers. She simply does write about things that children and young adults can relate to.* Margaret is one of Random House's bestselling children's authors - her name sells.
