Jenny Watson (jennywatson) | 6 comments Hi

I noticed that my book, Prove It Josh, is showing up as by Becky Citra. While I'd love to be Becky, the book is actually just written by me - Jenny Watson.

Would someone be able to fix it?

Here's the publisher's page with the correct information - http://www.sononis.com/index.php?page...

Cheers, Jenny.

Jenny Watson (jennywatson) | 6 comments Sorry - one more thing. I notice that the description is completely wrong as well. (Someone else must have entered this edition - sorry!)

Here's the correct description:

Josh put his finger on the word and tried to sound it out.
“D-d-d-d …”
By the time he got to the bottom of the page, a headache
had started to pound behind his left ear. He snapped
the book shut and shoved it across the table.
“I hate reading.”

Eleven-year-old Josh’s summer is getting off to a bad start. It’s the first week of vacation, but instead of being out on the water in his nifty sailing dinghy, he’s stuck in the library with the latest in a long string of tutors. Josh is dyslexic—and since he moved out west to live with Dad, a whole new crop of kids have been teasing him about his problems writing and reading.

At least Josh loves living at the marina on Dad’s cruising yacht. He’s counting the days until his brother, Matt, still back in Toronto with their mom, comes out to join Josh and his dad for a sailing trip.

When a mean classmate, Brittany, bets Josh he can’t beat her in an upcoming boat race, Josh isn’t too worried. With Matt as his racing partner, he’ll stand a good chance. But when the news comes that Matt has to enroll in summer school instead, Josh’s anxiety goes into overdrive. If he loses the race to Brittany, he’ll have to volunteer as a reader at the library—his worst nightmare! It’s time for Josh to prove what he’s made of, and readers will cheer him on as help comes from unexpected quarters.

Combining sailing lore, page-turning adventure and gentle humour, first-time novelist Jenny Watson has crafted an engaging, encouraging tale. Josh’s story comes full of inspiration, not just for the learning disabled, but for anyone who has to overcome adversity.

Jenny Watson (jennywatson) | 6 comments You're fast!

Bummer - I also noticed it's pointing to the wrong Jenny Watson (yep - there's many of us).

The correct Jenny Watson is here - https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

And, could you combine it with the existing editions?
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

The best cover is the one that spells the title - Prove It, Josh - with a capital I for it.

Thank you so much : )

Done. You are Jenny^^Watson with two spaces in your name for disambiguation purposes.

This is the procedure for setting the default edition of a book:
i) Go to the book page of the edition you wish to become the default/primary edition.
ii) Click "edit details" below the book's description.
iii) On the right side of the page about halfway down, click "Set this book as the primary edition for this work".
iv) Click "Save Changes"

Only a Goodreads Author (or Goodreads Staff) can set a default edition
