About the Author

Kaitlin Moore once did a back walkover on the balance beam without falling off. This is still her proudest moment. Unfortunately, she was too clumsy to be an Olympic gymnast. Once she figured this out, she decided to be a writer instead. Now she lives and writes in New York City. She can still do a perfect kick turn on the high beam.
