Hi! I love Girl, Forgotten and I want to read the rest of your books too! How do you plan out your plots?

April Henry For Girl Forgotten, I knew I wanted to have a girl who got curious about a grave and then learned it was of a girl who was a murder victim. I like true crime podcasts, so I decided that would be how she decided to solve it. I borrowed some things from real life - my kid had a friend who had to suddenly move in with her dad, whom she really didn't know. And a few years ago I met a student who had a prosthetic leg, and she told she had never seen a character in a book with a prosthetic leg. It was hard to write the episodes and not repeat things - that was a challenge.
