Just Listen Resources

Want to find out about other book's Dessen's written? Want to know where her next appearance is? There's all this and more in her little house on the world wide web.

You heard it here first—author Sarah Dessen thinks that it's much harder to be a teenager these days than it used to be.

In high school Sarah was "the oracle," meaning that she was the one who remembered all the things that happened with her friends. Maybe that's why she has so much teenage experience to draw upon in her books.

When Owen hands his CDs to Annabel, he says that she shouldn't think or judge—she should just listen. That's a pretty important point in the story, and something to keep in mind when being there for other people.

Get a sneak peek into Sarah Dessen's life (and all her pet chickens), and listen to her talk about her Twitter addiction.

If you want to just listen (pun totally intended) to the book instead of reading it, you can download the audio version here.

This cover of Just Listen gives you a sense of just how much is going on in poor Annabel's head.

Author Sarah Dessen looks pretty happy. We would be too if we had her publishing track record.
