Thank you to Kristin Nelson and thank you to Ginger Clark.
Thank you to my copyeditor, Lara Stelmaszyk.
My writer friends know that I love them and their support is more valuable than oxygen, but here are some standouts: Holly Black, who sat with me and went, “No, really, explain this world to me, explain it now,” and stopped me when I suggested that maybe shadow creatures ate Poughkeepsie. That was a real suggestion I actually put on the table for this book. Obviously, Holly Black is my savior and hero.
Robin Wasserman, who edited a whole other book of mine while I was desperate and editing this one and saved me so much time and had brilliant thoughts I would never have had. Robin Wasserman can do anything.
R. J. Anderson and Karen Healey and Kelly Link, who read the book at various stages and reassured me when I was badly in need of reassurance! Such sweets.
And to anyone out there who loved Sydney Carton at age eleven, because you’re me, and I am you.
