My eighth-grade students that year were largely obsessed with Justin Bieber - well, actually, here's how it went: The girls were openly obsessed with him, and the boys openly disdained him, but they belied their disdain by all imitating that gosh-awful bowl haircut that Bieber had in... I guess this was 2010? Anyhow, I hated that haircut so much, I had to write it into the book! On a different note, though, I really love The White Thread, especially for Tellius. This was the first book I managed to find a way to have him be an active part of the plot beginning to end, and the first book in which he begins to mature. I finally got to start to show the reader hints of the plans I had moving forward for him. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16797065891656855327noreply@blogger.com
