James Riley is the author of the Half Upon a Time series, as well as many books too unwritten to count. He's met thousands of imaginary people, most of whom are more polite than you'd think, but less interesting than you'd hope.

They made this book so chaotic, but I guess that's the main point of the story. Haha! And Okayyy, I'm giving them a break since they're still kids. I love all the book refere...
