Author Notes: Pam Scheunemann wrote her first short story in high school and couldn't wait to see her name in print. She has worked in the graphic design and publishing industry since the early '80s and has written over 100 books for young readers. Whenever she gets a moment, she enjoys indulging her other passion: making stuff. She has worked with many different mediums and continues to experiment and look for new craft ideas even in the most unlikely of places.
