  With deep, deep thanks to: Patricia McCormick (this book's fairy godmother and
  this author's cherished friend); Señora Sandi Merrill (gracias for the
  español); Sharon Brown at Oren's Daily Roast on Waverly (who doses the love
  into the caffeine); David Levithan (way more a Jimmy Stewart than a Thelma
  Ritter); Cecil Castellucci (the Queen of Cool, and of Los Feliz); the many
  fine and dedicated folk at S&S and WMA who have made these books possible--in
  particular David Gale, Alexandra Cooper, Jennifer Rudolph Walsh, and Alicia
  Gordon; my friends and family (for the ongoing love and support); and last but
  certainly not least, all the lovely readers who wrote asking for more, more,
  more.
