This novel contains timeless elements that will attract the interest of teen and emerging adult readers - such as friendship, bullying, LGBTQ+ issues, humor, music, mental health, history, love, and magical realism.

The author has been writing since she had to use new vocabulary words in sentences in elementary school. Libraries have been her happy and safe place for just as long. In the past year, she has had many poems published. This is her first book of fiction, but the tales of Jorge and Samantha will return in their second book of adventures. She currently lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and Great Dane.
