Published by Scholastic Press on 1 September 2009 with a first printing of 350,000; jacket by Tim O'Brien. The copyright page carries a first edition statement and a number line; a first printing includes the 1. Later printings keep the same statement, so check the number line (ninth, eleventh and twenty-first printings are offered). UNVERIFIED: the statement reads First edition, September 2009 (one dealer). No book club issue was documented.
We have not yet confirmed the issue points that tell this first impression from later ones. Until we do, compare your copy's title page and copyright page with the publisher, place and year above: any later printing or edition statement means it is not this one.
Know the points? Tell us. We publish them, with credit, once a second source agrees.
