For every librarian, every teacher, and every bookseller who has ever crossed my path (and the ones who have yet to cross it too): you’re the number one reason my books reach young readers. Thank you, thank you for doing what you do and sharing the stories that you love.
Finally, I want to thank my readers—old and new. Since the first book released two years ago, I have been constantly humbled by all that you do. Your emails, your tweets, your letters, your fan art, your presence at events—everything is downright awe-inspiring. Each time I hear from you, I remember why I write. These books are for you, and I can never thank you enough for your love and support.
