Dear LM-Net Members,I just wanted to let you know about two errors I found in a
book making the rounds of Scholastic Book Fairs right now. This may affect your
decision regarding buying or promoting the book. It is a high interest book, and
otherwise very appealing. (Perhaps it contains additional errors, but I did not
read the whole book.) I have contacted Scholastic about this.
Re: Wright, John D. Cryptids
and other creepy creatures. Tangerine Press, 2009. ISBN 0-545-11959-6 or
978-0-545-119597.
"I would like you to know that the above book contains two
errors on page 11, one minor, and the other major. This section deals with the
Thetis Lake
Monster allegedly found on Vancouver Island in British Columbia,
Canada. There
is a map at the bottom left corner that purportedly shows Vancouver
Island. This is incorrect. Instead the Queen Charlotte
Islands, a cluster of islands far north of Vancouver
Island is shown. As well, the accompanying information correctly
identifies the lake’s location on the southern [part] of Vancouver
Island, however the spot is labeled on the map on the northern part of the
incorrect island group."
Take care,
