Bio:
Sharon Draper (born August 21, 1948) is an American Children's writer. Best know for being the arch-nemesis of the Holden Secretbees series (and winning literary awards and being a very nice lady and stuff).
Rivalry:
In early 2013, Sharon Draper visited the school that the authors were attending. During her talk about life as an author, Draper said "Don't get into writing if you expect to make a lot of money". This angered the young authors who had planned to make a lot of money from writing cool books.
Using spite as their motivation, the authors dedicated their lives to earning tons of money and proving Sharon Draper wrong.
Moving Forward:
This rivalry will likely continue until the authors of the Holden Secretbees have earned enough money to send a solid gold middle finger statue to the home of Sharon Draper, thus proving her wrong by showing just how much money they have earned.
Note: The authors of the Holden Secretbees respect and admire all of what Sharon Draper has accomplished. They just want to earn money and prove her wrong.
