ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Book Three in a series is a linchpin book! It all turns here! The hardest but my favorite books to write in a series. I’d like to thank my amazing editors Jennifer Besser, Kate Meltzer, and Emilia Sowersby for making this book the best it could be. Thank you to Brittany Pearlman, Theresa Ferraiolo and everyone at Macmillan for all your efforts to bring this series into kids’ hands!

Thank you to all my friends, family, and fans.

Thank you to Richard Abate, my consigliere and confidant. Thank you to Martha Stevens and Hannah Carrende, who do all the heavy lifting. Thank you to the fabulous Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Jeremy Bell, and DJ Goldberg. Lunch and work with you guys are a blast! Thank you to Brad Krevoy and Amy Hartwick for believing in the TV series!

I would not be able to do what I do without my two: Mike and Mattie Johnston. Everything is for you.
