Boy-Girl Battle Series Error

Comment:

Hi, I’m reading the 4th book in your Boy-Girl Battle Series- The Girls’ Revenge, and I noticed an error on page 62, in the sentence that said, “Wallace, Joshua, and Joseph! Get in here! Now!” There’s nobody named Joseph in the book, and I think you should change that sentence.

You have a good eye!  Perhaps you will be a proof-reader some day for a publishing company.  It’s hard to see how I and my editor and the copy-editor could all have missed this.  In the story, the father is calling each boy by his birth name, not their nicknames.   Wally is short for Wallace, Josh is short for Joshua, and Jake would be short for Jacob.  If the book goes though another printing, it certainly should be changed.
