A "Cat Who..." secret?!

EEEEEE! I loved these books - they were like comfort food for me. <3

But Polly... no. I couldn't stand her. She was a jealous, capricious shrew and he deserved much better. I pretty much started skipping over whatever scenes she was in.

It certainly gave me a nasty turn when I read the blurb for the last one - but wasn't it written by a ghost-writer? In which case it can be dismissed as not-canon.

I hated it for the same reason. I can't bring myself to reread the series either.

I got hooked on the books in middle school. For some reason they were on the accelerated reader list. At my school, you'd read books on the list and take a quiz when you were done. You would get points based on your quiz score, what level the book was, and how long the book was. Gone with the Wind was 71 points, The Cat Who series average was 10 points, and the Boxcar Children series average was 2 points. Once a month, the librarian would open a little store and you could use the points you earned to buy stuff. Prizes included books, movies, school supplies, candy, CD players, and even a bicycle. I'd check out a Cat Who book, read it on the bus and before bed time, take the quiz, and get a new book.

I agree that was pretty jarring, but the thing is, Ms Braun had a stroke and the series was given over to a ghostwriter who got rid of half the cast of regular characters. My breaking point was killing off Derek Cuttlebrink.

Whaaaa....

Well, I'm glad to have it confirmed that the ghostwriter done it! And also that I never gave that particular book a chance.

I thought that Derek's girlfriend was the one who died. It's been a while since I read it. He was my favorite side character.
