[aisle] cataloging confusion

[Katherine Contreras]

*Eighty-Dollar Champion* threw me off too!  Titlewave lists it as
historical fiction, but everything about the book screams nonfiction.  I
looked at the cataloging of some public libraries and came up with a
possible call number in my narrative nonfiction: NN 798.25 Letts.  I've
emailed the publisher to see if they can clarify and will keep you posted
if I get an answer.  For now, it sits on a cart waiting for a home on the
shelves.
