Marissa chats with Danielle Younge-Ullman about her newest YA contemporary - HE MUST LIKE YOU - as well as tackling Big Issues in our books with humor and levity, writing YA and kidlit with one's own children and teenagers in mind, and the role authors can play when it comes to enacting social change.
