Quotes by Laurie Morrison (?)

“Maybe,” Mia said in her loud new lacrosse-girl voice.”
― Laurie Morrison, Up for Air

“improve my grade and show I’ve learned my lesson.” “Hmm.” Ms. Ramos took a long sip from her travel coffee mug, which said #1 Teacher! in purple cursive, and then set it back down on her desk. Behind her head, the bulletin board was covered with bright yellow paper and rimmed with a cheerful multicolor border. There was a sign in the middle that said “All authentic research is you-search. Begin with what you care about and go from there.” It had been set”
― Laurie Morrison, Saint Ivy: Kind at All Costs

“Maybe that's what makes two people family, even if they're not related—messing up and hurting each other but then figuring out how to change and heal and become OK again.”
― Laurie Morrison, Every Shiny Thing
