For now, they were just boys. And what could be better than that?

The End

Victory may have a thousand fathers
, but thanking everyone who made
Colin Fischer
possible would require bloating this little book to doorstop proportions. Nevertheless, attention must be paid. So a heartfelt thank you to…

…Our wonderful lit agent Eric Simonoff for encouraging us to finish this book, then going out and selling it.

…Our editors Ben Schrank and Gillian Levinson, who have been wonderful collaborators and infinitely patient in teaching neophyte novelists the ins and outs of the book world.

…Multi-hyphenate genius and friend Lev Grossman for his encouragement and support.

…Shawna Benson, who can probably recite this book from memory and knows every comma intimately.

…Our film and TV agents, managers, and attorneys, who have been tireless in advocating and protecting
the book (and us) through this entire process. So thank you also to Paul Haas, Jeff Gorin and the whole team at WME (Kimberly, Tom, Zach, and Jordan), Allen Fischer at PYE, and Ken Richman and Gretchen Bruggeman-Rush at HJTH.

Finally
, a special thank you to Susan Solomon, our Mama Bear. Without her, the sun doesn’t rise and the world doesn’t turn.

Susan, we’re sorry your favorite word isn’t in this book.
