Hi! I'm reading the Masterminds trilogy (Kindle editions) out loud to my 13 year old and 10 year old and they are absolutely loving it. Last night we noticed an error in the second book, which was a little bit jarring (and got them excited about reporting it to you!).

Chapter 13 is in Malik's voice. However, at one point it says:

Malik’s hand snaps to his neck. He examines the blood smear and blanches. “See what you did?” he rages to Amber. “I got injured”

Which is written in third person! Once we noticed it, I just switched the voice for reading, but you might want to correct it for the next edition.

I grew up on I Want to Go Home and Bruno and Boots, so it's really great to see the next generation also loving your books!

Hi, Clayton,

Very pleased to hear that MASTERMINDS is going over well with you and your kids.

Also, thanks for posting and for proving that even the best copyedit misses some stuff! I'll report it. Thanks.
