To all of the amazing Jada Jones readers, thank you for your sweet notes, pictures, reviews, and support. You’ve made the debut of this series incredible. I’m touched by how you’ve connected with Jada and her friends. You inspire me.
I’m so grateful, too, for the editors who believed in Jada and me. Thank you, Renee Hooker, for your expert guidance and kind support through all of Jada’s adventures. Thank you, Bonnie Bader and Avery Briggs, for starting the magic. Hugs and thanks to the entire Penguin Workshop team, illustrators Vanessa Brantley Newton and Nneka Myers, and my agent Caryn Wiseman.
Finally, thank you always to my family, sorors, and friends. I couldn’t do this without you.
