Acknowledgements
I would like to, once again, thank Christina Demosthenous for her wonderful editing and for always getting back to me quickly when I send her desperate emails with the header ‘Does this work?’ As always, she has pushed me to write the best possible novel, and I have loved working with her.
I would also like to thank Kim Nash, Noelle Holten and Sarah Hardy, publicity and social media gurus, for helping my novels into the world. Thanks to the whole team at Bookouture, including Alexandra Holmes, Ellen Gleeson, Lauren Finger and Liz Hatherell. Thanks to DeAndra Lupu for another excellent copy edit.
I would also like to thank, as always, my mother Hilary, who knows how quickly she needs to read any novel I send her.
Thanks also to David, Mikhayla, Isabella, Jacob and Jax (Where are you going? What are you eating? What have you got there? Stop that!).
And once again thank you to those who read, review and blog about my work. Every review is appreciated.
We – both author and publisher – hope you enjoyed this book. We believe that you can become a reader at any time in your life, but we’d love your help to give the next generation a head start.
Did you know that 9% of children don’t have a book of their own in their home, rising to 13% in disadvantaged families*? We’d like to try to change that by asking you to consider the role you could play in helping to build readers of the future.
We’d love you to get involved by sharing, borrowing, reading, buying or talking about a book with a child in your life and spreading the love of reading. We want to make sure the next generation continues to have access to books, wherever they come from.
