Bestselling author Laurie Halse Anderson has entered the superhero universe. Known for her influential young adult titles (such as Speak, Catalyst, and Fever 1793), Anderson’s new graphic novel, Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed (DC Comics, June), explores the superhero’s teen years and her quest for justice after becoming separated from her family and home on the fictional island nation of Themyscira. American Libraries spoke with Anderson about how the refugee crisis made her reimagine Wonder Woman’s origin story, what spurs her to fight censorship, and how the library has been her sanctuary.
