To the We Need Diverse Books crew: Ellen, Aisha, Marieke, Ilene, Miranda, and the rest. You rock, and the world agrees.
This book features a number of technical details that exist well outside of my purview. Before I thank those who lent their expertise, the disclaimer: If it’s right, it’s on them, if it’s wrong, it’s on me. Got it? Good.
C. S. Ling, you’re my favorite wildlife photographer and I was blown away when you agreed to answer my (likely tedious) questions. If Panda ever gets her stuff together, she’d be wise to look you up.
Maika McGlone, thank you for your help on the German. Me and my translation program were set to screw that all up—like we did when Panda was half Italian.
Erin Jade Lange, I really appreciate you schooling me on how television reporters deal with hot button teen issues. I still embellished a bit (forgive me), but I couldn’t have done that without the foundation you laid.
James “Brother Jay” Spence, thanks for a peek into the administrative side of schools. The kids are lucky to have you.
Dr. Gary Moss, Dr. Carole Norton, and Dr. John Jane—thank you for telling me a bit about how traumatic head injuries work (if the injured party is as lucky as Ocie).
Now, the lightning round. Special thanks to the extended Giles and Brown families; Mr. and Mrs. Green; Jennifer Bosworth; Meg Medina; Gigi Amateau; Becky Rodgers Boyette; Tara Franzetti, the Hopewell branch of the Appomattox Regional Library System; Patti Parker, Betty Ware, Hopewell High School; Thomas, Melissa, and Amelia Goodwin; Crystal Hunter; Ariane Aramburo and the Hampton Roads Show; Lin Oliver, Sara Rutenberg, and SCBWI; Lisa Hartz, Michael Khandelwal, Alicia Wright Dekker, and the Muse Writers Center; ODU MFA program; Lana Krumwiede and James River Writers; Juanita Giles, Suzy Palmer and Longwood University; NovaTeen; Prince Books, Fountain Books, bbgb Books, Chop Suey books (really, all indie booksellers); the Chesapeake chapter of Sisters in Crime; and, last but not least . . .
You.
