About This Item
Scholastic , 2006 . 9780439949972 First edition in unclipped jacket, inscribed by the author on the title page. The jacket is worn, with creased flaps and a little loss at the top of the fold of the front flap. There are small ink marks on the end papers, and the paper of the text block is foxed. The boards are rather worn, most evidently at the base of the spine. A nice book to have, but very obviously secondhand.
