Abstract
It is the rare person who sets out to learn to new words. Rather, people go out and have experiences and find ways to talk about them. “Vocabulary” is necessary in order for us to talk with one another. Adolescent author Joan Bauer shares personal experiences that have made “words” hold meaning for her, as well as her challenge to find just the right words to say just what she wants to say.
