Ellen Hopkins has been called “the best selling living poet in the country”. With unflinching verse she writes about tough subjects facing teenagers including depression, drug addiction, sexual abuse, orientation and more. Her most recent book, “The You I’ve Never Known”, is even more personal as Hopkins own daughter was abducted and missing for 3 years. The story is written in the voices of Ariel, the teenager abducted by her father when she was just 2 years old and the mother who searched for years until a fateful moment put them together. ellenhopkins.com
