KIMBERLY PAULEY is the author of the award-winning Sucks to Be Me, which was honored on the YALSA Quick Picks for Reluctant Readers list. The sequel, Still Sucks to Be Me, was listed on the VOYA Best Science Fiction Fantasy List of 2010. Born in California, she has lived everywhere from Florida to Chicago and has now gone international to live in the UK with her husband (a numbers man) and the cutest little boy on any continent (The Max).

Nat still has her snark on and her purple streak in her hair. I think it’s fun and colourful (kinda like the book). I hope you’ll like it too. And the back features a pink-furred Rufus Brutus the Third.

Is there going to be another Mila 'Hamilton' Smith book?"
