Zindel was influenced to write a young adult novel from a editor. The editor saw his first piece "The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-In-The-Moon Marigolds" and thought it would be a good idea for him to try to write a book. I think if he wasn't influenced by the editor than he still would of made books, here's my reasoning. I think he still would of made books because I think he understood how well his play went that it would be a good idea for him to start writing books. I think that his style would of also stayed the same. His play was in the style of his books.
