Author Interview: Ned Vizzini

Ned Vizzini is a literary rockstar; his three books are HUGE! His first book, It’s Kind of a Funny Story, was just released as a movie,  Be More Chill was a Today Show book club book and Teen Angst? Naaah...well let’s just say my teen students love it!

Ned-Vizzini-Author-Interview

So Ned Vizzini, the YA lit rockstar, Facebooked me! I was thrilled! I speculate it was because he just wrote an awesome blog about words (check it out) and so was thinking about where else he had mused about lexicon…which was at NCTE this November with me.

I love how Ned’s favorite author is Michael Crichton and that he taught me two new words– vertiginous and gambeson (check out the video to find out what they mean).

Your students will love him too– he’s funny and hip; they will know his novels or at least the movie, and you can tell them he even writes for the new MTV show Teenwolf!

Thanks again Ned for a great interview, for teaching me some new words and for friending little ol’ me.
