Author Jacqueline Wilson is considered a prominent name in the world of children's books, with her latest book "My Sister Jodie" " gaining national attention because of the letter "a". Apparently, three individuals who have purchased the book found an error referring the work "twit" as "twat", with Random House now amending all future editions of the new book. Over 150,000 books have been sold in comparison to those three customers, so apparently the outrage is not a public one, but the change in the book was made anyway.

An English writer, Jacqueline Wilson's first novel was written when she was nine-years-old. Winning numerous awards, over 7,000 of her books have been sold in the UK alone with her book "Double Act" voted 10th in the Nation's Favorite Children's Book. In June of 2002, she was given an OBE for services to literacy in schools.
