Let's make this birthday one to remember.

52 years old (Born on February 16, 1973)

Happy birthday, Maureen Johnson! May your day be filled with more excitement than Ginny's adventures in "13 Little Blue Envelopes," and fewer mishaps than Scarlett Martin’s hotel escapades. Your witty storytelling has given us countless laughs, heartfelt moments, and the irresistible urge to spontaneously travel Europe armed only with mysterious envelopes.

From crafting unforgettable characters in the Suite Scarlett series to scripting magical mischief for Harry Potter video games—your creativity knows no bounds. Here's hoping this year brings you as much joy as you've brought readers worldwide (and perhaps fewer deadlines). Cheers to another chapter of literary brilliance—and cake!
