Rebecca is the author of Whatever Comes Tomorrow, Brainstorm!, Afikoman, Where’d You Go?, and a plethora of other books. She lives with her family in Summit, New Jersey, where you can find her bouncing on a mini trampoline, playing mah-jongg, and eating chocolate–peanut butter ice cream (although not usually at the same time!).
