http://madwomanintheforest.com/stuck-between-rage-and-compassion/

So the link above is Halse Anderson's response to The Wall Street Journal's article on how YA is corrupting teens. Though she wants to come out with claws out and teeth bared, she maintains composure and offers up validation for current, contemporary YA writing that delves deep into kids' issues. Love her!
