ther author is Kathryn Applegate--or something K. The books I did were historical fiction and involved early flying--I think around WWI and wer set in England and there was some romantic entanglements. I think I proofread and then read the two that followed--or maybe I proofed those, too. The author has written other series. She's a popular young people's wuthor, I think, as there have been requests for more of her books. The language was interesting. Either the scan or the book I was using to proof from had the English words and the other had Americanized words. I preferred th English words and used them.

I loved proofing the books of one of the Applegate series I did. I liked them so much that I took the rest of the series from the ibrary to read.

Several of the scanners and proofreaders here, including me, like to work on children's and young adult books that we either enjoyed ourselves when young, or wish we'd been able to read. It certainly is a nice break from those grown up woes, isn't it?
