“Scooter?” The voice stopped him. Marianne was at the door, looking back. “What will you do?” she asked, and Kat thought she sounded…like a grandmother.
“Don’t worry about me, Marianne.” He smiled at Kat, took her hand. “I’ll find some way to stay busy.”
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
It would be impossible to write a Heist book without an amazing crew!
First and foremost, thank you to everyone at Disney-Hyperion: Catherine Onder, Stephanie Lurie, the amazing sales, marketing, and school and library teams. And I would be remiss if I didn’t offer a special thanks to Lisa Yoskowitz, who suggested the title for this book and gave it such loving guidance in its early days.
Thanks also to Kristin Nelson and everyone at the Nelson Literary Agency, Kassie Evashevski, Whitney Lee, and Jenny Meyer.
As always, I owe a lot to Rose Brock, Jennifer Lynn Barnes, Holly Black, Shellie Rea, and Bob, who were so much help along the way.
And last but certainly not least, I thank my family, especially the Hale Girls, whom I will always love.
