On the publishing front, my editor, Kristin Ostby, provided incisive notes, my designer, Lucy Cummins, knocked it out of the park (as usual), and my agent, Jennifer Joel, got me this whole career writing these books in the first place. Finally, thanks to my favorite junior editors, the real Dashiell and Violet, for their encouragement, and my incredible wife, Suzanne, for her unending support.
