ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I’d like to thank my publishers—Little, Brown Books for Young Readers in the U.S. and Orchard Books in the U.K.—for their continued support of the Unknown Assassin series. Special thanks to the LBYR team—my editor, Kate Sullivan; Leslie Shumate; Andrew Smith; Megan Tingley; and so many others who have been with the series from the very beginning.
Thanks to the many foreign publishers who have picked up the series and translated it for readers around the world.
Thanks to Sony Pictures and Overbrook Entertainment for their efforts in bringing the Unknown Assassin to the big screen.
Special thanks to Judy Kim for her support and encouragement throughout the writing of this second book.
And finally, an extra-special shout-out to the readers, bloggers, booksellers, and librarians who read and enjoyed the first book when it was published as Boy Nobody. You’ve shared it with friends and family, reviewed it online, and helped to spread the word in so many ways. Now the series has grown into the Unknown Assassin. I hope you’re as excited by that as I am. It’s a pleasure to share another book with you.
