Author’s Comments

Have you ever been so utterly scared of something that you’ll do just about anything to get out of it…and then later discover it wasn’t that bad after all? I have. And that’s what Matt discovers in this book which my editor called her favorite.

Secrets

• My favorite scene in this book is when Matt sees Sam for the first time, face to face.
• I’ve actually never wrestled, so I had to do a lot of research for this one, including interviewing some high school wrestlers. I even had a friend who writes a column for the WWE double-check my “slamming” scenes with Hulk.
• I love Isabel’s scriptures in this book about overcoming fear. Anytime you face something scary, just repeat them and remind yourself that you don’t have to fear!
