To my editor, Zareen Jaffery, and the production department at S&S Books for Young Readers, for letting me color outside the lines (lifesavers)!
To Marie L., for your invaluable assistance with Cajun French, and for patiently answering all my questions. (“We’d use sauve for a guy?” “Why is there an English word in the translation?” “Lier versus amarrer. Thoughts?”)
To Beth Kendrick and Barbara Ankrum, for all your support and eagle-eyed beta reads!
