Delivery to the Lost City Read online

  There are many more people I could and should mention, but I want to finish by thanking my readers. A story is no good unless you’ve got someone to share it with, and I’m deeply touched by how many of you have enjoyed Suzy’s adventures and taken them to heart. Over the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of speaking with thousands of you all around the world, and I hope to meet even more of you in future. Always remember that, if you’re ever feeling bored, or lost, or lonely, the Impossible Places are waiting to welcome you. Pay them a visit, and you’ll see that our own world is more magical than it first appears.

  Thank you for reading this Feiwel and Friends book.
