Can They Even Do That?

I stumbled upon Mockingbird by Kathryn Lasky over winter break last year and loved it instantly. I told students it was my pick for the Newbery and learned shortly after that it was the National Book Award winner. I loved the original cover and I saw the appeal, though not timelessness of the paperback cover. While browsing at Barnes and Noble, I noticed something odd. Can they even do that?
