Many thanks to the folks at Houghton Mifflin, specifically Betsy Groban, Caroline Kraft, Linda Magram, Bridget Marmion and Karen Walsh.

Thanks also to everyone at M.S. 61 — Dr. Gladstone Atwell Middle School 61 — in Brooklyn, New York. Specifically, thanks to Amanda, Ashea, Bob and Shanique for sharing a day of their vacation with us. To Ms. Carter and Ms. Danzy, for all of their generosity and arrangements. Thanks to the New York City Department of Education offices of School Library Services and Communications for their assistance, too.

Thanks to the Brooklyn Public Library for their assistance in the filming of this production. Specific thanks to Ruth Anne Wagner and Judy Zuckerman.

Thanks to the management of Manhattan's Fairway Market and Mariella Pizza on 8th Avenue.

Thanks, as well, to Gretta Miller and Aarick Beher for their invaluable, professional help with this production.

Of course, this entire Author Program occurred because of the kindness and generosity of Charles Wilson, who graciously opened his home and shared his time and enthusiasm with us, and Eric Schlosser -- equally generous and supportive of this project.
