January 22, 2007.

So, there I was, playing in the snow with my son, chasing after a runaway cat, when the Newbery Committee called.

"Hi, you've reached Jenni, Jonathan, and Will, please leave a message. <beep> ..."

(Luckily, they called back.)

The last few weeks have been... heavenly!

Thank you to everybody, everywhere, who supported this little book. It darned near killed me to write it!
