Also a shout-out to Kathleen Stokker for her excellent book Folklore Fights the Nazis, from which I freely borrowed, especially the jokes. Takk for vitsene.
To my patient and helpful husband, our brilliant children, and our Norwegian “son,” Arne Christian Sivertsen (exchange student, 2000–2001), who was an enthusiastic companion on my research (and our skiing) trip to Norway, takk.
And, finally, a mountainous thank-you to everyone at Amulet/Abrams who worked on this book: Jim Armstrong, Chad Beckerman, Sara Corbett, Laura Mihalick, Jason Wells, and everyone else from that crazy-wonderful bunch who had a hand in it, most especially Howard Reeves, without whom this story would have been but a mere shadow.
