Just like Tommy in the story, Jonny Nobel is a curious and sociable eight year old boy whose imagination flowed freely as he told his father the wonderous tale of the Loopers, a story that grew and grew as they searched for a solution to the dilemma of forgetfulness. This is Jonny's first published book but more will surely follow as his parents are both published authors and it's sort of in his blood. They all live by the ocean in North Carolina.
