An account of the resource
In this two-page, handwritten letter by Janet Fredericksen to Robert Cormier, the adult writer explains that she encountered the book, <em>After the First Death</em>, in a Children's Literature class. Almost angrily, she demands to know who his audience is and why the book is a YA book. Toward the end of the letter, she relates how engaging the book is and applauds him as a writer. In a postscript, her daughter has asked who she was writing to - then said: "he's the guy that wrote <em>I am the Cheese.</em>" The writer indicated that she intended to read that book soon.

An account of the resource
In this published news story included in <em>The Plain Dealer</em>, author Janice Carter discusses how the events detailed in <em>After the First Death</em> are not too far from fiction. Referring to a conversation with Robert Cormier, she shares how some of the novel's features reflect recent terrorist acts. Cormier notes how there is little research available to those interested in writing about terrorism. To that end, he wanted to use the novel to "explore the mind of a terrorist" - specifically the human side. Carter notes that these types of stories - violent, fast-paced and compelling - are often at the forefront of Cormier's young adult fiction.
