YA for Obama, Part 2
The YA for Obama blog was mentioned in passing last week. The momentum has picked up with more YA authors wearing their politics on their sleeves. Scott Westerfeld has now posted on his own blog and on the YA4O blog.
From Westerblog:
And teenagers also have a huge stake in the politics outside their schoolhouse. I’ve had lots of fan letters from kids whose father and mothers are in Iraq and Afghanistan. And guess what? There are soldiers there today who were 13 years old when Midnighters came out, so some of them may be my readers. Young people fight wars.
