Thanks to all my wonderful friends at The Baltimore Sun for all their support. And a very special thanks to Stephanie Owens Lurie, Editorial Director of Disney • Hyperion Books, for her unfailing patience and optimism, her steady guidance throughout the project, and her remarkable editing skills. We couldn’t have written this book without her. K. C.
