About the Author

SCOTT STEVENS is a student poet at Menlo School -- a senior, but he might as well be a freshman. Though he does love a well-structured curriculum, because he raises his hand too much à la Hermione Granger, he'd rather be with his friends outside enjoying the drought. In addition to writing poetry and short stories, he translates works from the Japanese, and is taking aim at Mandarin in school.
