To the heroes in my real life: St. Matt, my Schmidtlet twins, and Rascal—you make every day an adventure. Thank you for filling our house and lives with chaos, love, and laughter. So much gratitude to St. Matt for coffee and apple deliveries when I get up at four a.m. to write, and to the twins for continuing to be the world’s best sleepers. Rascal, I’m still hoping you learn to nap, but in the meantime you do an A-plus job of coloring on and ripping up old drafts while I work.
To all the librarians, teachers, bloggers, and readers who have read and recommended Merri and Rory’s stories—you make my heart squish, and I can’t wait to share the next Bookish adventure with you!
And finally, thank you to Skittles, because I cannot revise without you, and to whoever cast Christian Bale as Laurie in the 1994 version of Little Women.
