Good question, MB! I decided to look it up and all sources said both versions are correct. When I typed both on a document, neither came up with the squiggly spellcheck line. I guess it's like "cancelation" and "cancellation." Of course we patriots write "color" while the redcoats write "colour."
So, did the author deliberately write the British version or was it a mistake? I guess we won't know. Maybe the author was being tricky. It reminds me of when I read S.E. Hinton's addition to the fallen-apart revival of the Harper-Collins DS novels, Hawkes Harbor which was initially titled Collinsport. All our characters and locations were there but renamed - save for just one time when Ms. Hinton threw in her tribute to us DS fans and called the renamed Roger Collins, Roger Collins. How wonderfully sneaky of her and I'm surprised you-know-who didn't throw a hissy fit and call out his bevy (or is it "bevvy?") of lawyers.
