Dot is named Pricken (which is swedish for 'the dot'), the spelling of Sammy is different (they've spelled it 'Sammie' for some reason), Sammy's mom's named Lena and Gil Borsch is named Gil Borst. So no big differences, just small ones that I don't really get why they bothered to make. Anyway, the Sammy Keyes series is great, I read some of the books in the series when I was like twelwe, and I bought the ones I didn't have a while ago and read them too, and even though I'm 20 years old I totally got into them. Such cool books shouldn't be just for children, so I will keep reading the Sammy Keyes series and keep hoping that September will pass really fast so that another SK book will be out :)katarinanderssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12156373835940615843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-40165574643661708672010-06-21T07:17:01.995-07:002010-06-21T07:17:01.995-07:00Sorry the replies have taken this long! Let me div...Sorry the replies have taken this long! Let me dive in:<br /><br /># of entries: I was surprised that there were so many, not few, because until recently this has been sort of a "secret blog". I don't promote it anywhere and it's not easy to find! <br /><br />"Mummy" for Lana was one of the ones I was looking for, but since it was a joke in my mind, I wasn't expecting as many people to include Lana in their answers as did.<br /><br />The French: Yeah, I say they changed her name and made her look like an angry Nancy Drew. But apparently French readers don't mind!<br /><br />NYA: I want you to know that I was VERY shy all the way through high school. You'll break out of it, don't worry. An electric guitar can help :-)<br /><br />October: Forget about it! Get out and enjoy summer!!<br /><br />Movies: Eventually, probably. Not in a rush, that's for sure. I want to finish the series...<br /><br />Thanks to all of you for checking in!Wendelin Van Draanenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02534698736990684819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-36472160483570552202010-06-18T09:22:48.584-07:002010-06-18T09:22:48.584-07:00just curious... are you ever making a sammy keyes ...just curious... are you ever making a sammy keyes movie?s-ninjanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-54308699008771986352010-06-17T16:15:38.967-07:002010-06-17T16:15:38.967-07:00Neither will I.

They're supposed to clear changes like that (with me) before they make them, but did they?<br />No, no.<br />Was I a little miffed?<br />Oui, oui!<br />But my agent told me to just trust that they knew what their "market" would respond to, and sales there have been pretty good, so maybe they do. I guess a girl named Sammy is too confusing for France's young readers? <br />Whatever, it's fun to hear from someone who (knows someone who) has read them in that language.<br /><br />CCG: Oh, poor you!
