Today I received a copy of the newly reprinted 90 packets of instant noodles. The first thing I did was flick through to the imprint page, where I saw this:

That line – reprinted 2013, 2015 – made me glow with happiness. I never, ever would have thought when I signed my first book contract back in 2009 for the manuscript that would become 90 packets, that it would go on to live such an excellent life.

This sort of stuff simply doesn’t happen without the support of many. So I’d like to thank you, readers, teachers, librarians, parents, booksellers and reviewers. I’d like to thank my editor, Amanda Curtin, and my publisher, Cate Sutherland, along with the awesome team at Fremantle Press. I actually couldn’t have done it without you.
