I’ve written about 12 published books (some are not out yet but I’m working on those now)-and none of them are like El Deafo, except for the fact that they are (almost) all about friendship, and they are all funny. How many other books have you written – and are they anything like El Deafo? I had to use it!)

Martha Claytor and Mike Miller are also real names. The names of the people in my family are all real, for example. Some of the characters’ names are real, and some aren’t.
