I'd LOVE to know why Scholastic's site says Jo is still working on the book and no release date has been set, yet Amazon.com is taking pre-orders, while Bloomsbury is taking pre-orders and Amazon.co.uk says no release date has been set yet. Does anyone else find that totally BIZARRE?!

I tried to pre-order the UK edition, but they'll only let me put it on my Wish List. Oh well, I'm sure I'll have plenty of time to order. I can't wait for the line party, though! I'll read the US version first, and then read the UK version when it arrives. Woo hoo! 7 months!
peace, wemoonwitch

Children's Edition only?
What does that mean?
Edited content, does someone not die in it who is supposed to die?
Is it shorter?

As far as pre-ordering goes...I haven't done that with a book before, but I have pre-ordered a CD from, I think, Amazon previously and I got it in the mail on a Saturday and it wasn't to be released until Tuesday (three days later).
I'll probably head over to Sam's Club...

Fair enough Geri, in that it should be closed to let you read it, but I think if people haven't yet finished it then they should not come on the site and risk it. I just worry that if you closed it then when it re-opened you might have so many people logging to talk about it that the system might not cope (not that I really know!).
So, that's my input, ignore it if you wish!

Yes I'm so happy you can pre-order one, but I don't think I will because I think they are going to give it to me as a present since my birthday is in July.

I am not going to preorder it, but I hope I can get it that day! When the fifth one came out...I had to wait for a whole week! They kept on selling out of them until one of my friends hid one for me! :)
