If you're a boy, you should play sports \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e be good at them. If you're smart, you should immediately go to college after high school, and get a job that makes you rich. Above all, be normal.Right? \u003ci\u003eWrong\u003c\/i\u003e, say 35 leading middle grade and young adult authors.
