Hinton wrote it when she was sixteen years old, though the back of the movie case says she wrote it when she was fifteen, someone always finds a flaw.Um...actually she began to write it at the age of fifteen to be more specific and she did the majority of the work at the age of sixteen. By that way, thank you for the AWESOME answer because I needed that too.
