Aronson, Leda Schubert, Tim Wynne-Jones, Rita Williams-Garcia, Uma Krishnaswami, and Kathi Appelt. Special thanks to Erin Loomis, who makes me laugh until I cry and is the only other person I know who shares my deep-rooted affection for fried bologna sandwiches, John Denver, and spygear.
I owe a great deal of thanks to Andy, for his love, partnership, encouragement, and his ability to answer questions like, “What’s a museum called that only has things in it that are important to one person? Is that a real thing?”
Much thanks to my wonderful editor, Jill Santopolo, and to everyone at Philomel, who have made this such an amazing experience. And to my lovely agent, Sarah Davies at Greenhouse Literary Agency, thank you for believing in me.
