Yes, that's the author. Since it's been adapted by Tracey West, for your
future such submissions, you'd enter
Tracey West (adapter)
Rather than just Tracey West in to the Author field.

I'm a little confused about your copyright question. You say that you didn't
find "C by" on any of the pages, yet you found "C 1999 by New York
Scholastic" somewhere in the book. Do you mean to say that, by "any of the
pages", you didn't find anything about copyright on any of the text pages of
the book; in other words, the NY Scholastic copyright was present on a
dedicated copyright page, and there was no other copyright notice throughout
the book? If I'm understanding that correctly, in that the "C 1999 by New
York Scholastic" was the only copyright notice in the book, then yes, the
copyright holder is
New York Scholastic
. Since the copyright holder seems to be the publisher rather than the
adapter, for your future such submissions, you might want to include the
copyright page as part of your comments for the book to prevent it from
possibly being kicked back to Step 1 from the admin approval queue for
copyright verification.

Section 3 of the Volunteer Manual, in the section entitled "Guidelines for
Filling out Submission and Validation Forms", also contains useful
information for situations like this, with examples, that you might find
helpful.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Submitted for Validation and a vfew questions

I just submitted to following children's book for validation.

Attack of the Prehistoric Pokemon
Tracey West

Ash, Misty, Brock and Pickachu go on a
Pokemon fossil dig.  They become
trapped in a dark cave with both Team Rocket and fierce, prehistoric 
Pokemon!


I had a little trouble with this book and the one I submitted yesterday. 
Maybe someone can give me advice on how to handle these questions as I have 
one more Pokemon book.

The title page reads quote adapted by Tracey West unquote.  Is that the same

as the author?

I also had trouble with the copyright holder.  The only place I could find 
anything about the copyright was C1999 by New York Scholastic

Is that the copyright holder?  I saw nothing about copyright by on any of 
the pages.
