ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Thanks are due to my husband, Tim, for the help, encouragement and advice that saw
me through a most worrisome first draft; to Rick Robinson once again for a fast
turnaround proofreading and intelligent reader reaction; to my agent, Craig R.
Tenney, the personification of grace under fire; and to my editor, Anne Dunn, who
took time from her own hectic schedule to help me get this book out the gate and who
gave me the leeway when it came to handing in the first draft.
My heartfelt appreciation also goes to the fair wondersome people of Scholastic
ChildrenТs Books in the UK, who gave a lonely American such a warm welcome.
As always my thanks to Thomas Gansevoort, this seriesТs creative godfather.
