A question for you (Reply to this comment)
by bonniesayers
When I look at the details supplied by EP it states this was released in 2001 and has a few different variations with ISBN's.

If someone were to click on the link for say amazon to check latest prices of this book would they find the same one there that is listed here and you wrote about?

I have different versions of books that are not listed at EP and would like to know if this can be done.

I just wanted to get this clarified since you mention another name for this book than listed on the site.

Yep, it's misfiled (Reply to this comment)

But for now, I'm not going to be incredibly anal about it.

I have filed a new book request for you at:
http://bb.bbboy.net/epinionsbooks-viewthread?forum=5&thread=17

I'll let jjastar know when the book has been added so that she can move her review if we aren't able to do that.

In the future, if you would like to add a book to the database, just go to that forum and add the request there.

Or if you would just like to come around and socialize with other writers in the Books and Magazines & Newspapers forums, go to:

I'll be happy to move the review though Im not sure why it is considered mis-filed

while i referenced that our copy of the book was a Scholastic edition, which is the same story with the exception of the language being less difficult than the original version from the late 1800's

I have read the original text, which was reissued for the listed book ..... and I feel that it is clear due to my referencing the difficult language that it was the older book I was reviewing

"Due to the difficult language and the theme I would recommend it for those, not younger than 4th grade. I have seen online education sites, placing it on 5th grade reading lists."
