At the time of publication, the author is a seventeen-year-old girl who goes by the name of Alex. She is currently in eleventh grade and loves both nature and stories. She owns many books and hopes to make many more of her own someday. “I would like to thank my family teachers and friends for helping me write this story. You know who you are. And a special thanks to the readers young and old for taking the time to enjoy my story. The woods are amazing and should be visited as much as possible—unless you’re my brother. Then you should be playing the piano. Love you, bro!”
