E. Lockhart and Emily Jenkins are the same person???

MY MIND IS BLOWN.

I am so, so fond of Jenkins's Toys books -- they are very gentle and realistic about fear and jealousy and vulnerability, and I think they make just about the perfect read-aloud for children who have the newly acquired patience to sit through a medium-sized chapter with only one or two pictures in it. And I've raved before about how Lockhart manages to contextualize Foucault in The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks, but Dramarama is absolutely pitch-perfect on how it can feel way more bitter than noble to make the Noble Sacrifice, and how things can be right and wrong at the same time, and I was all, How is she not as famous as John Green? (I really like John Green, don't get me wrong.)

I feel like I've just found out that Superman and Batman are the same person.

I've never heard of either one, and now I must find her work!
