Epigraph

Dedication

For my friends at the Glen Ridge Library, the kids at Glen Acres School, and all the librarians and teachers whose joy it is to help us discover a world of imagination through reading and writing. -- D.K.

First words

Every day, when the library was full of people walking up and down the aisles, studying, checking out books, and working on the computers, Sam was curled up in his little hole, sound asleep.
