  D edic ation
  This book is dedicated to the wonderful poet and storyteller Hans Christian
  A ndersen. His plots have given me obvious inspiration, as in this version of
  his fairy story The Ugly Duckling, but more than that, his ability to weave
  together j oy and philosophical thought inspires every novel I write.
  
  Ac k nowledgments
  My books are like small children; they take a whole village to get them to a
  literate state. I want to offer my heartfelt thanks to my village: my editor,
  Carrie Feron; my agent, Kim Witherspoon; my website designers, Wax
  Creative; and my personal team: Kim Castillo, Franzeca Drouin, and Anne
  Connell.
