Kelly Sonnack, my agent. You have my back. Always. It is such a privilege to call you agent and friend.
Lisa Sandell, my editor. We make good books together, don’t we? It is such a privilege to call you editor and friend.
Really, I don’t know what I did to deserve the pair of you! But I know when I am blessed. Love to you both.
Scholastic Press. For six books now, you have felt like my team and my family. David Levithan, Olivia Valcarce, Josh Berlowitz, Ellie Berger, Rachel Feld, Shannon Pender, Erin Berger, Lauren Donovan, Amy Goppert, Lizette Serrano, Emily Heddleson, Jasmine Miranda, Danielle Yadao, Matt Poulter, Lori Benton, John Pels, the sales team, and everyone in Book Fairs and Book Clubs.
My critique group of more than a dozen years now. Ruta Sepetys, Howard Shirley, Amy Eytchison, and Angelika Stegmann. There is no one like you. How dear you all are to me!
And last but never least, my family. Philip, Chris and Siobhan, Stephen, and Elizabeth. I love you more than can be said in the back of a book. And, Philip, you win the good egg award yet again. You are the love of my life and my very best friend. Thank you for all of it.
