AboutKit Willihnganz Expertise I can answer questions concerning both the general history of the young adult genre and questions about specific books. I'm happy to recommend books, both to readers and to parents looking for books to give their children. I have a limited knowledge of the personal lives of authors (trivia, etc.) but will do my best to find the information you want.
Please do NOT send me your homework questions. I won't answer them.

Question u've probably read great expectations and seen the movie spoof of it, right? i watched just an eensy bit of it , in which i saw miss havisham (who went by some other name in the movie dashford i think), dressed in a green blouse and green trousers, dancing. i was wondering, if u know the name of the movie could u please tell me? if u r lost u can ask me to write a follow up for more edification. thanks .
Answer This question isn't exactly in my area of expertise--I'm not familiar with many movie spoofs, and I have no idea what the name of this one is. I ran a Google search and a YouTube search--nothing. Try asking someone who's an expert in movies. Best luck.
