Title: errors in appendix M
Review: I have not read this book, but I was given Appendix M as part of a list of suggested books for Summer Reading. As a librarian, I am appalled by the number of errors in this list of titles and authors. Students will have trouble finding several of these books when the authors' names and the titles are spelled incorrectly. How can we expect the best from students when we give them a sloppily edited list from which to choose their reading material? One example is "Zusack, Markus. Fighting Reuben Wolf", which should read "Zusak, Markus. Fighting Ruben Wolfe." Vivian Vande Velde's book is "The Rumplestiltskin Problem" not just "The Rumplestiltskin." This book is in desperate need of better editing before teachers use it to select books.
Is the review positive or negative?
