. But here goes.

Thanks to:

My agent, Kate Schafer Testerman, a woman who can do more or less anything and without whom nothing is possible.

My editor, Jennifer Besser, who has been the champion of the Shades gang from the start.

Robin Wasserman, Holly Black, Sarah Rees Brennan, and Cassie Claire, for their constant support and brilliant advice. I am so lucky to know you all.

Libba Bray and Barry Goldblatt, who sheltered us when a hurricane hit in the middle of writing this book.

Felicity Disco (Kate Welsh), my assistant, who has made sure I do not catch on fire.

Kiersten White, for her motivational technique.

Medical advisers Elka Cloake, MD, and Marianne Hamel, MD, as well as Mary Johnson, RN (or, as she is better known to me, my mom).

Everyone at Penguin who has provided so much support: Elyse Marshall, Lisa Kelly, Anna Jarzab, and everyone else on Hudson Street.

The folks at Hot Key Books, who publish my work in the UK: Sara O'Connor, Sarah Odedina, Sanne Vliegenthart, Rosi Crawley, and everyone else at Hot Key HQ.

My Leaky/Geeky family, presided by Melissa Anelli and Stephanie Dornhelm (but I am thanking you all—there are dozens of us. Possibly hundreds?).

Night Vale creators Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor, for the internship at their radio station.

Hamish Young, for everything.

And to my readers, to the booksellers and librarians and teachers. I don't get to do this without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
