RM | 762 comments Goodreads presently conflates 2 different books by listing them as editions of the same work:

Penguin Bloom: The Odd Little Bird Who Saved a Family by Cameron Bloom and Bradley Trevor Greive was first published in 2015, and has been republished in multiple editions since, many of which are listed on Goodreads.

The book was adapted as a film, Penguin Bloom (2020). The screenplay of that film was novelised (as a 'Young Readers' Edition') by Chris Kunz and published in 2021 with a film tie-in cover under ISBNs 9780733341670 (paperback), 9781460713693 (ebook), 9781867549000 (audiobook) and 9780369344724 (dyslexic print).

The original and the novelisation are entirely different works: they have different text and their authors are different. They should be separated into two distinct works on Goodreads.

Emily | 17617 comments I think I have separated them. Let me know if you see a stray one I have not included.
