What is the plural of Pegasus, since there was only one in mythology? Some believe it to be Pegasuses, others Pegasi. Why would we want them to learn incorrect usage of words and then apply it in their writing, only to get marked down for it?ġ) Most annoying was the use of the word Pegasus, especially in the plural form. Considering this is aimed at middle readers who are just starting to broaden their reading horizons into more complex books, that can be an issue. I'm writing about actual incorrect word choice. I'm not talking about simple misspellings and such that Word or a cursory glance by someone other than the author would catch. Or more specifically, the lack of editing. That said, why did this book get three stars? Pure and simple: the writing. I absolutely cannot wait for the next book in the series, as I have to know what Andy does next! I am also a fan of the lessons to be learned by the readers, knowing this book is targeted for middle grade readers (5th to 7th grade, I would presume). I love the characters Lee has created, how they parallel to the "real world" and the challenges and struggles each faces. With that in mind, I presume I got the latest and greatest copy of the book, etc.įirst, let me say I absolutely love the story. I received a copy of this book in MOBI format from the author for the purposes of a review.
