BRIEFLY?
>> IT IS A FICTION BOOK.
IT’S THE SECOND IN A FIVE-BOOK
SERIES WHERE A LITTLE KATE THE

CAN’T WAIT TO GRAB THAT.
AND SO SPEAKING OF THE SCIENCE,
LET’S GET TO IT.

IT WILL APPEAR.
AND IT’S SO CUTE.

AND USUALLY I DO IT ON WHITE
PAPER SO IT POPS OUT.
I WANTED YOU GUYS TO BE ABLE TO
SEE IT.
THE WAX ADHERES TO THE SALT THAT
