  Thank you so much for taking the time to read my book! I know there are lots of other amazing options available and I'm thrilled you chose mine. I hope you enjoyed it.

  I need some help getting the word out about The Natnat Adventures. I would really appreciate it if you could tell your friends about the book, and leave a review. It doesn’t have to be long, just a couple of lines would help.

  Make sure you follow Nat, Riki, Jack, Barnaby and Eli in their next adventure, The Ship of Sight and The Hand of Shadow.

  Thank you.
