The thing that touched me in the most surprising way was the number of dads, uncles, and brothers who came up and said, “I’m getting this book for my daughter/niece/sister. I think this will help her keep up with the geeky stuff she loves but seems to be growing away from. I don’t want her to abandon who she is because she’s trying to fit in at school.” Guy after guy showed up and waited in line with my book, desperately trying to bring back something for an important girl in his life. If that doesn’t boost your faith in humanity, I don’t know what will.
