![]() ![]() A ginormous-doesn’t-cover-it thank you to the most astute critique partners out there: Dee Romito, Gail Nall, Alison Cherry, and Melanie Conklin. My name may be on the cover, but there is a slew of people who can lay claim to aspects of this book. Special thanks to Holly Root, who lives up to her rock-star agent reputation at every turn and sometimes sends me pictures of yawning tigers. I’d also like to thank the entire team at Aladdin, especially Jessica Handelman and Annabelle Metayer for a perfectly adorable (and purple!) cover, Katherine Devendorf for making these pages look so perfect, the marketing duo of Emma Sector and Carolyn Swerdloff for all their hard work, and Amy Cloud for stepping in so seamlessly. Plus, she let me flail and squeal over how amazing this “my book is for real actually getting published” stuff is and never laughed at me (or at least not too loudly). Her collaborative spirit made the entire experience a complete joy. ![]() Unlike Chloe’s lists, mine could include a C and a D–Z yet still not have enough letters to name all the ways Annie Berger is, quite simply, the very best editor a girl could ask for. ![]() ![]() To John , Jack , Ben , and Caroline , the best hug givers I know We have SO many more books for kids in the in-beTWEEN age that we’d love to share with you!
