Incorrect Description of ISBN: 0070065322

[Samuel]

ISBN 0070065322, "Good-By to Stony Crick" is described as "This lab manual is suitable for use with any chemistry text for allied health students. The manual contains approximately 40 experiments providing professors with maximum flexibility."

But this is actually a juvenile novel:

"Borland, Kathryn and Helen Speicher. Good-by to Stony Crick. Illus. Deanne Hollinger. Weekly Reader Books. New York: McGraw-Hill, 1975. 128 pp. Jeremy Whitehead's family drives from their mountain home to Chicago, since their house has burned down and a cousin convinced Pa to find work in the city. Jeremy has more trouble making friends with teachers or other kids than his four siblings do, except that he makes friends early on with a blind teacher and his seeing eye dog, who live in the same building. Reading library books in this teacher's room is an escape from Jeremy's noisy environment. Many details reveal the unexpected differences between their old home surrounded by nature, with a one-room schoolhouse and friendly neighbors, and the crowded, dirty environment of the city. In several episodes Whitehead boys are victimized by criminal tricks of other boys. Although Ma disapproves of buying on credit, Pa's purchase of things such as a TV, couch, and Christmas presents make a return to Kentucky less likely. One of Jeremy's difficulties at school is that his teacher, Mrs. McNutt, corrects his grammar throughout his oral report, so he can't make his descriptions exciting when he tries to tell the class about his adventure of getting shot at during hunting season. A very different, kind teacher who appears after Christmas encourages him without correcting him while he tells a story, and by the end he has more positive attitudes about making an effort to form friendships. The new teacher admires Ma's quilts and helps form a co-op in which immigrant women can make quilts to sell and find friends. Pa has trouble keeping a job and the story shows in the end that tedious assembly line work which pays well is unfulfilling for a man of many skills. Jeremy and his mother have the strongest desire to return home and try to encourage others in the family to save money, but Jeremy accepts the uncertainty of their future and resolves to make the best of his life in Chicago."

That's bizarre! But I'm not too sure on that description as it's a bit too broad and contains spoilers. I have therefore updated the description with the one from WorldCat:

Thanks, Susie! Should have been clearer, wasn't actually suggesting that description, just providing evidence that the then current one was incorrect. Your update is perfect.
