Acknowledgments
The process of making a book is never as solitary as it seems. This book and this series wouldn’t exist without the hard work of Shawna McCarthy and Danny Baror and the support and dedication of DongWon Song, Anne Clarke, Alex Lencicki, the inimitable Jack Womack, and the brilliant crew at Orbit. Also gratitude goes to Carrie, Kat, and Jayné for feedback and support, and also to the whole Sakeriver gang. Much of the cool in the book belongs to them. The errors and infelicities and egregious fudging was all us.

“I’m sorry, Miss Carrie.”
“It’s okay,” the teacher said in a tight voice that meant it wasn’t, really, but Mei wasn’t going to be punished. “Please go wash your hands and then come put away your painting work. I’ll get this down and you can give it to your mother. It is a doggie?”
“It’s a space monster.”
“It’s a very nice space monster. Now go wash your hands, please, sweetheart.”
Mei nodded, turned, and ran for the bathroom, her smock flapping around her like a rag caught in an air duct.
“And don’t touch the wall!”
“I’m sorry, Miss Carrie.”
“It’s okay. Just clean it off after you’ve washed your hands.”
She turned the water on full blast, the colors and swirls rushing off her skin. She went through the m ............
