Co-authors Wali Shah and Eric Walters share what it was like to work together when writing Call Me Al—and tell us about the things they learned from each other along the way. How did you both meet? WS: We met when I was about 19 years old. I was invited to do a poetry performance at Mississauga Celebration Square for an event with the Mississauga Library, and Eric had come to share some of his work.

In this funny yet moving coming-of-age novel, a girl finds comfort, and eventually her voice, by writing letters to The Doctor from her favorite TV show, Doctor Who. Lo and Jazz have been best friends ever since Jazz defended her when Bobby Zucker called her a horse face in second grade. But lately Jazz has seemed more interested in bikinis, boys and bras (ugh), and Lo is still perfectly happy with her comic books and Doctor Who.
