Freaky Monday (12 page)
Authors: Mary Rodgers
The authors would like to send a big bouquet of thanks to the following readers for their terrific responses and insightful comments on the manuscript: Sonya Caputo-Cole; Rachel Martel; Isabel Sebbane; and Gracie Lawrence, Alison Kaplon, Miranda Wilkins, and Kheyana McKie, middle-school students at the Dalton School in New York, as well as their dynamite librarian, Roxanne Hsu Feldman.
Heather Hach adds: “I have to thank Brenda Bowen, my brilliant editor, for steering this book into its rightful harbor. Also, thank you to Mary Rodgers for extending the opportunity to do this in the first place and to my literary agent, Richard Abate, for seeing it through. A big shout-out is necessary for my adorable and supportive husband, Jason Hearne, who never tires of me sneaking off to the computer for one more peck at the keyboard. I could not do it without him or without my parents, Bruce and Muriel Hach, who are deliriously devoted and have always fostered my creativityâthank you!”
