Valkyrie (23 page)

Dedication

I would like to send a special message to anyone out there who is being bullied – either in school or online.

Please tell someone – your parents, your guardians or teachers – tell ANYONE! You don’t have to suffer alone . . . we do care.

And I promise you, it does get better. I was bullied at school and now I write books that travel all around the world!

This book is for YOU!
