About the Author

Joshua Piven’s dangerous wedding featured snakebites, rusty nails, and fuzzy navels—and only the first two were drinks! Regrettably, back in ’99 there was no Instagram to broadcast his memorable dance: the Hustle. He lives in Philadelphia with his first wife.

David Borgenicht is the creator and coauthor of all the books in the Worst-Case Scenario® series and is president and publisher of Quirk Books (www.quirkbooks.com). He lives in Philadelphia.

Sarah Jordan is a National Magazine Award–nominated writer whose wedding featured a band so committed to entertaining that they refused to stop playing so guests could leave the dance floor for dessert. She lives in Philadelphia.

Mike Rogalski is an award-winning illustrator whose portfolio encompasses a range of subjects from mummy preparation to igloo construction and the internal workings of Snuffleupagus.
