Up in the Garden and Down in the Dirt: (Nature Book for Kids, Gardening and Vegetable Planting, Outdoor Nature Book) (Over and Under)
Two parallel scores from 5 calibrated reviewers and 7 raw-average reviewers.
Z-normalized corrects for reviewer bias (every reviewer re-centered onto their personal scale). Raw average uses simple mean across the broader pool including stddev=0 reviewers. The 21-point gap is the rating-inflation signature for this title — discriminating reviewers liked it more than the casual crowd.

Summary
Up in the Garden and Down in the Dirt: (Nature Book for Kids, Gardening and Vegetable Planting, Outdoor Nature Book) (Over and Under) sits at the 58th z-normalized percentile across 5,285ranked books. The z-percentile differs from a raw star average because Rankquant subtracts each reviewer's personal baseline before aggregating — so a reader who rates everything 5 stars carries less weight than one who rates discerningly. Raw-average percentile is 37; the gap between the two measures how much bias-correction changes this title's standing. How percentiles are computed.
