How hard could it be to write novels for teens? What happens if you do something and God does even more? This is the story of Robin Jones Gunn. When Robin  was in first grade her teacher wrote on her report card, “Robin keeps the entire class entertained at rug time with her stories.” Even with such an early affirmation, Robin didn’t seriously consider becoming a writer during high school or college. She was more intrigued by the idea of traveling to foreign lands and telling people about God’s love. As an adult, while on a camping trip with their church youth group, Robin grew concerned when she saw what the girls were reading in their tent. The 13 year-old girls challenged her, saying, “If you don’t want us to read these books then you should write novels for us. We’ll even tell you what to write. How hard could that be?”
