ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

BIG THANKS

We wouldn’t be here without you. Thank you for helping us reach kids around the United States and hopefully ignite their dreams in the same way others inspire us.

THE LIST IS BIG, BUT THE HEART HAS NO LIMIT. NEITHER DOES THE INTERNET.

Matt for introducing us, Emily Fiskio for your always clever insights, Ann Marie because you were the first one that brought Third Man Records as a possible ally. Thanks to Rachel for your very useful feedback, for introducing us to the world of publishing, and, most importantly, for trying to sell our book like it's your own. Thanks to Dave Sherman, Bob Corritore and all our friends that were there every step of the way. Our parents, June Kaye & Emerson Hockett, Liz Suarez & Jorge Avelar, because these two little dreamers started somewhere.

And last but not least, thank you to every publishing house that said no, so we waited for the perfect partner.
