Acknowledgments
Nyrae would like to thank:
My husband and my girls. You guys put up with so much from me when I’m in the zone. I appreciate it, and I love you for all the support. To Jolene Perry for writing with me. Thanks for creating Bishop’s perfect match and for being a great friend. Wendy Higgins because you are a rock star of a bestie and a great beta reader. Kelley York, Cassie Mae, Morgan Shamy and any other early readers. I couldn’t do this without you. I would also like to thank everyone who reads my books. Your trust in me means the world to me. To Heather Howland for all your knowledge and for seeing something in Bishop and Penny’s story. Thanks for giving us a chance. And to all the folks at Entangled. Thank you for believing in this story.
Jolene would like to thank:
My family, whose endless patience enables me to do what I love. Definitely to Nyrae for writing with me. She writes the best boys—I fall in love with them all. I can’t imagine not having her as a friend. Thank you to all the people who gave us feedback on this book: Lauren Hammond (the agent who sold this book), Wendy Higgins, Kelley York, Cassie Mae, Morgan Shamy, and my husband, who listened to Out of Play not once, but twice, as we wrote and edited.
I’m grateful that I grew up in Alaska and have known so many girls who are like my Penny Jones. I’m also so thankful to Heather Howland for her enthusiasm and insights on Bishop and Penny’s story. Also to Entangled for their hard work in getting Out of Play into the world.
There is no way I could thank the people who read my books enough. Ever. You. Are. Awesome.

Sidelined
by Kendra C. Highley
After being pushed to excel her entire life, high school basketball star Genna Pierce is finally where she wants to be. University scouts are taking notice, her team is on its way to the state tourney, and Jake Butler, the hot boy she’s daydreamed about since ninth grade, is showing some definite interest. When he asks her out and their relationship takes off, Genna believes things can’t get better.
Then, it’s over.
A freak accident ends her career before it’s even begun. Her parents are fighting more than ever, her friends don’t understand what she’s going through, and she’s not sure who she is without basketball. And while he tries to be there for her, Genna doesn’t understand how Jake could ever want the broken version of the girl he fell for.
Her life in a tailspin, Genna turns to the only solace that eases her pain: Vicodin.

The Summer I Became a Nerd
by Leah Rae Miller
On the outside, seventeen-year-old Madelyne Summers looks like your typical blond cheerleader—perky, popular, and dating the star quarterback. But inside, Maddie spends more time agonizing over what will happen in the next issue of her favorite comic book than planning pep rallies with her squad. That she’s a nerd hiding in a popular girl’s body isn’t just unknown, it’s anti-known. And she needs to keep it that way.
Summer is the only time Maddie lets her real self out to play, but when she slips up and the adorkable guy behind the local comic shop’s counter uncovers her secret, she’s busted. Before she can shake a pom-pom, Maddie’s whisked into Logan’s world of comic conventions, live-action role-playing, and first-person-shooter video games. And she loves it. But the more shedenies who she really is, the deeper her lies become…and the more she risks losing Logan forever.
