Author’s Note
Me again. Aside from the opening paragraph and ChatGPT’s claims that Between Worlds is “a must-read for any tween interested in the arts and history” and that “each book is well-research [sic] and provides an immersive experience into a different time period and culture,” pretty much everything else is inaccurate.
