And message from Sandra Noakes at Harper Collins NZ:
A sad day
for us as we learn of the passing of the much-loved Queen of Teen, Louise
Rennison. Louise had a big audience of fans in New Zealand.
Nobody
wrote for teenagers like Louise did, she understood them, their lives and their
extraordinary and powerful friendships. In life, as in her writing, she brought
joy and laughter. Our thoughts are with her family, friends and the readers
whose lives she has touched for more than twenty years.
The
reaction across mainstream and social media is building, but this piece in The
Guardian says it all.
