ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Deep thanks to my fantastic editors and cocaptains, Hayley Wagreich and Catherine Wallace. I also wish to thank the team at Alloy, including Josh Bank, Sara Shandler, Les Morgenstein, Joelle Hobeika, Romy Golan, and Heather David.

I am very grateful for the artistic minds that make Neil and friends look so stylish. Thanks to Alloy's Natalie Sousa, and to the art department at HarperCollins: Alison Klapthor, Aurora Parlagreco, Alison Donalty, and Barbara Fitzsimmons. All remaining gratitude goes to the
publicity team's Elizabeth Ward and Stephanie Hoover, and School and Library Marketing's Patty Rosati.

These books would not exist without the support and encouragement from my amazing family and friends. Really. Thank you. To Mom, Dad, Whitney, Matt, employees of Dinkel's Bakery, the Reno family, and the city of Kent, Ohio—I aim to make you all proud.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

JEFF MILLER
is a tall drink of water from Kent, Ohio. He is a big fan of snow, camping, taking steps two at a time, and LeBron James—but he likes writing books best. He lives and performs in Chicago, where he tells funny stories about working at summer camps and drinking far too much lake water as a child.
