My son and I were at a lunch for the Book 4 launch and Jo said that
she had not wanted there to be any differences, but the American
publishers convinced her that young US-based readers wouldn't
understand her otherwise.  That said, some of the differences are so
minor they don't make sense for the reason stated.
