Lynn's Comments: As a teenager, this was me. If my hair wasn’t right, my day wasn’t either. “Bad hair day” was a phrase coined in my time—and it was serious. One day, I even faked an illness and stayed home from school because of bad hair. I confess, I haven’t changed much. Oh, physically I’m 78…but hair-wise…I’m still 16.

Lynn's Comments: Candace was a complicated character, and if I’d had enough time and space, I’d have been able to explore her personality and her home life. I hoped readers would see her as one of the bright but troubled kids in Elizabeth’s crowd; someone who needed some extra understanding.

Lynn's Comments: I tried to explore the complexities of having a “best friend” and friendships in general. This is another area I could have worked with a bit more but time and space were limited. Drawing new characters was also a challenge—I used photos from magazines to help me come up with new faces.

Lynn's Comments: In high school, I was a bit jealous of my friend Laurel who got a summer job working at a popular ice cream joint. One day I told her I wished I had her job. When she told me how hard it was to stand all day and dig hard ice cream out of the tubs for demanding and impatient people, I changed my tune!
