Every Day

As always, I must thank my family and my friends. My parents. Adam, Jen, Paige, Matthew, and Hailey. My aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents. My author friends. My Scholastic friends. My school friends. My librarian friends. My Facebook friends. My best friends. And the friends who sat across from me writing their own books while I was working on this one (Eliot, Chris, Daniel, Marie, Donna, Natalie). And the one friend who was painting while I wrote (Nathan).

Huge thanks to my intrepid agent, Bill Clegg, as well as the fantastic team at WMEE, including Alicia Gordon, Shaun Dolan, and Lauren Bonner. Thanks to my fantastic home base at Random House, across all the sales, marketing, editorial, and art departments. (I would like to give a special shout-out to Adrienne Waintraub, Tracy Lerner, and Lisa Nadel, for almost a decade’s worth of dinners and booth signings, and to the watchful eye of Jeremy Medina and the careful planning of Elizabeth Zajac.) Thanks, too, to my champions at Egmont in the UK, Text in Australia, and the other international publishers of this book.

Finally, I give thanks every day to have Nancy Hinkel as my editor. I love it when I’ve got wheels and you want to go for a ride.
