As always, my first reader and dear friend, Lisa Green, continues to shine her enthusiasm and light on Joshua’s adventures. Her insight drove me to breathe fiery life into this story and these characters. I am also grateful to have had an amazing editor throughout this series, Tara Creel. She has guided me in enriching these stories (along with the pesky grammar stuff!). And to my favorite person in the world who started it all, the real Joshua Cooper Galanti, whose adventurous imagination fuels my own and whose faith in my storytelling never wavers.
