Kirsten Miller
Kirsten is set apart from other authors by emphasizing the importance of “girl power”. She has chosen many female lead characters because she believes girls can make a change too.  She showed this by saying, “While the world wasn’t necessarily designed with young girls in mind, if a girl has a little ingenuity and a lot of confidence, she can make the world work to her advantage” in an teenreads.com interview in 2006.
