The World Ends in April

by Stacy McAnulty

  Much love and thanks to my mom for the enthusiasm for each new title.

  And a big thank-you to my dad, who every week asks, “What are you working on?” and listens as I give him a lengthy, rambling answer.

  To all my friends and family who support me on good and bad days: Glen, Suzanne, Bob and Fran, Frank and Stacey, Kristen and Andy, Jess and Brian, Gram, Abby, Alaina, Kara, Paige, Ellerie, Gavin, my aunts and uncles, my LK Literary family, my Electric Eighteens friends, Mabel, Julie, Jen, and Penny (and a shout-out to Sarah C.).

  I can’t write an acknowledgment without mentioning the dogs. Jack, Munchkin, and Reykja: I could get so much more done if you didn’t insist on playing several times a day.

  And finally, all my love and thanks to the fam. Cora, Lily, Henry, and Brett: you are the reason it’s all possible, and without y’all, nothing matters. Love ya!

  Also, a quick hi and thanks to Lin-Manuel Miranda. (I plan to keep acknowledging him until he acknowledges my acknowledgment.)
