You guys rock. I owe you imaginary cake. I’d also like to thank my fantastic agent, Andrea Somberg, and my magnificent editor, Anne Hoppe, as well as my wonderful publisher, Dinah Stevenson, and all the other amazing people at Clarion Books and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, for bringing this dream to life. Many thanks and much love to my family, and especially to my husband and my children, who are better than any dream and make me happy to be awake.</p> </body> </html>
