Sarah Patt graduated from Wheelock College and went on to earn a master’s degree in Special Education from Simmons College. She currently teaches at Landmark School in Massachusetts, where she never takes for granted the short commute, brisk salt air, and the devoted faculty, staff, and students who help make her work inspirational and rewarding. Sarah Patt is grateful for all the love & support from her family and friends and thankful her fur baby always keeps her company during the late nights she writes and writes. This book is dedicated to the memories of Nathan Patt, whose love for her children was as big as the sea; her sister, Melissa Gervais, who will always be her one and only Missy Mouse; Matthew Rutter, one of the most humble mentors she had the good fortune to work with; and to her father, Alan Rice, who instilled the idea, "You can accomplish anything if you put your mind to it!"
