“I'm lying in my room listening to the birds outside. I used to think they sang because they were happy. But then I learned on a nature show they're really showing off. Trying to lure in some other bird so they can mate with it. Or let the other birds know not to get too close to their turf. I wish I never watched that show, because now all I think about is what those pretty sounds mean. And how they're not pretty at all.”

“I have this friend, Jake," Mr. Mitchell says, sitting on the edge of his desk. "One day, I needed a favor. It wasn't a big favor, but I called him and told him I needed something. Know what he said?"
We shake our heads.
"He said, 'Sure.' Before he eve knew what i was going to ask him. You know why?"
We shake our heads again.
"Because he trusted me not to ask him to do something he couldn't or wouldn't want to do. He knew that whatever i asked for, he would help me simply because he was my friend and I needed help. That's true friendship.”

Jo, Jo, Jo--I just can't WAIT for Jumping Off Swings! =]
Hi Jo,Thanks for adding me. I'm finally getting a chance to read your book. (I had to return the copy I took out at the library last month because I didn't have time to read it.) I just ordered myself a copy from amazon.com. ;)

After seeing Morgan's review I knew I had to read your book Lessons from a Dead Girl. I also loved it! - Looking forward to Jumping Off Swings.
Jo you are amazing, I added the Faerie Drink review on here... =)
I LOVED your book LESSONS FROM A DEAD GIRL. Fantastic YA fiction. Very believable fiction. One of my favorite YA books of '07!
So great to meet you here on GR. I look forward to following your updates and maybe an occasional bookish chat.
Have a great weekend,
Rob
