ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

C
OUNTLESS THANKS TO MY
dearest early readers: Mike Floquet, Melinda Reid, Monty McGovern, Elizabeth McGovern, Valle Dwight, Carrie McGee, Katie and Bill McGovern, Charlie Floquet, and Matilda Curtis. All of them have contributed invaluable comments.

Thanks to Eric Simonoff, who read too many early drafts of stories with this character and, even so, remained enthusiastic. Thanks to Margaret Riley King, who found a home for the final draft and has done such a wonderful job ushering me into this world of young adult publishing. Also thanks to Laura Bonner for her enthusiastic support of this book early on.

A million thanks to Tara Weikum, who has edited this book with astonishing care and has made HarperCollins feel like a wonderful new home filled with bright people like Christina Colangelo, Chris Hernandez, Margot Wood, and Aubry Parks-Fried, under the guiding hands of Susan Katz and Kate Jackson. Across the seas, many thanks to Rachel Perry at Macmillan Books.

For help on all matters technical and otherwise, many thanks to Mat Lebowitz, Julian Concannon, and Peter Michael Smith. (As it happens, all great writers in their own right!)

And a special thanks to Danielle Kadinoff and her daughter, Irene Soulos, who read an early draft of this book and pointed me toward the ending that probably should have been there all along. . . .

I am very grateful to you all.
