Trouble is a Friend of Mine

Acknowledgements


I’d like to thank my agent David Dunton for taking a chance on me and for being my first editor. Thank you, Kathy Dawson, for a world-class education in YA writing and for dispensing exactly the right amounts of kindness and strictness while you helped turn my manuscript into a book. I’d also like to thank the team at Kathy Dawson Books, especially Claire Evans and Regina Castillo for their meticulousness.

Thank you, Mom and Dad. You know what for. I’m sorry I was a pain, but as you can see, it was research. I owe you the same thank you/sorry combination, too, Steve and Stella. Thanks for being my accomplices on many of my adventures and I’m sorry I put your lives in danger as many times as I did. Oh, look, something else I should apologize to Mom and Dad for.

My biggest thanks go to LT and HB, though, for making me strong. All this is for you.

Hey, Stella: no ice.
