Martha | 4 comments Putting in ISBN 9780547271200, for the US 1st edition of A Room Full of Bones, by Elly Griffiths, takes you to
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/62..., which shows the COVER of A Room Full of Bones, but all the other info is for the second book in the same series, The Janus Stone. Confusing....

Amara Tanith (aftanith) It would appear that this was a rescued book from the Amazon data issues back in February. Someone incorrectly assumed that it was The Janus Stone, possibly because of an incorrect cover, but the ISBN is definitely an edition of A Room Full of Bones. I'm now in the process of correcting it based on the information at the publisher's site.

Edit: Finished.

Nicole Luiken | 9 comments Help. Two of my two novels, Dreamfire and Dreamline, are listed as different editions of the same book whereas Dreamfire is book one and Dreamline is book two. They have different covers, titles and ISBNs. Can someone please uncombine their records?


message 5: by Amara (new)

Amara Tanith (aftanith) Separated. However, I see their series information hasn't been put in the system yet. If you can tell me what the title of the series is, I can get that fixed for you, too. :)

Nicole Luiken | 9 comments Thank you so much! I've added in the series info to the title myself.


message 7: by Amara (new)

Amara Tanith (aftanith) You're welcome! And I've created a series listing for the books, so you're all set. :)

Deborah | 9 comments Hello. The summary for The Unseen Guest book 3 is actually the summary for the second book in the series The Hidden Gallery.


message 9: by Amara (new)

Amara Tanith (aftanith) I've changed the default description to one that was attached to another edition of the book. However, it's very general and doesn't really offer anything specifically pertaining to the book's plot; if you can provide a better description, it would be much appreciated. (The ideal would be the book's back cover or jacket flap description, if you have access to a copy.)

Deborah | 9 comments And I just dropped it off. I'll request it again from the library. Thanks, I didn't think of that (this is a first). You're right, very general and unintriguing summary for an enjoyable, fun book. Would I post the summary here?

Deborah | 9 comments I'm back with the summary for The Unseen Guest ISBN 9780061791185. I'll return with the same for book 2 when it arrives.


Of especially naughty children it is sometimes said, "They must have been raised by wolves." The Incorrigible children actually were.

Since returning from London, the three Incorrigible children and their plucky governess, Miss Penelope Lumley, have been exceedingly busy. Despite their wolfish upbringing, the children have taken up bird-watching, with no unfortunate consequences-yet. And a perplexing gift raises hard questions about how Penelope came to be left at the Swanburne Academy for Poor Bright Females and why her parents never bothered to return for her.

But hers is not the only family mystery to solve. When Lord Fredrick's long-absent mother arrives with the noted explorer Admiral Faucet, gruesome secrets tumble out of the Ashton family tree. And when the admiral's prized racing ostrich gets loose in the forest, it will take all the Incorrigibles' skills to find her.

The hunt for the runaway ostrich is on. But Penelope is worried. Once back in the wild, will the children forget about books and poetry and go back to their howling, wolfish ways? What if they never want to come back to Ashton Place at all?

Deborah | 9 comments The jacket flap for The Hidden Gallery

Of especially naughty children it is sometimes said, "They must have been raised by wolves." The Incorrigible children actually were.

Thanks to the efforts of Miss Penelope Lumley, their plucky governess, Alexander, Beowulf, and Cassiopeia are much more like children than wolf pups now. They are accustomed to wearing clothes. They hardly ever howl at the moon. And for the most part, they resist the urge to chase squirrels up trees.

Despite Penelope's civilizing influence, the Incorrigibles still managed to ruin Lady Constance's Christmas ball, nearly destroying the grand house. So while Ashton Place is being restored, Penelope, the Ashtons, and the children take up residence in London. Penelope is thrilled, as London offers so many opportunities to further the education of her unique students. But the city presents challenges, too, in the form of the palace guards' bearskin hats, which drive the children wild-not to mention the abundance of pigeons the Incorrigibles love to hunt. As they explore London, however, they discover more about themselves as clues about the children's-and Penelope's-mysterious past crop up in the most unexpected ways....
