BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I HAVE MORE THANKS TO GIVE.
First and foremost I want to give a special shout-out to the brilliant Amy Scheibe. Her contributions as editor and co-writer were invaluable. I would never have been able to structure this book without her hilarious moments, unending patience, phenomenal organizational skills, and lattes. She truly helped me sew a pile of mismatched patches into a cohesive, well-constructed garment.
I would also like to thank Benjamin Dreyer for dreaming up the entire scheme and lining up the players. Susan Mercandetti, I know it’s cheesy to claim that a writer has become friends with her editor, but in this case it is true, at least until I try to sell her another book. Ben Steinberg, for stepping in when I was in full panic mode and talking me down off the ledge. Robert Best for the illustrations, because every girl wants to look like Barbie.
