  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

  Special thanks to the following carnies who ran away to join my circus: Deirdre “the Ringmaster” Jones, Laura “the Lion Tamer” Nolan, Zoë “the Mentalist” Chapin, Dan “the Ventriloquist” Poblocki, Lissy “the Tattooed Woman” Marlin and Kyle “the Tattooed Man” Hilton, Jonathan “the Prestidigitator” Bayme, Timothy “the Magician’s Assistant” Meola, David “the Bull Handler” Burtka, and all the Gandy Dancers at Little, Brown, especially Megan Tingley, Karina Granda, and Alvina Ling.

  Also, thanks to everyone at the world-famous Magic Castle, home to the Academy of Magical Arts. It’s the greatest clubhouse in existence for grown-up misfits like me, and continues to inspire countless people to pick up a wand and learn some new skills. I doff my top hat to you all.
