If anyone can direct me to these books for the book project. I don’t remember the titles of either, not much about them.
The first, I feel like it was a Judy Blume, but I’m not sure. All I remember is that a girl (or even possible a boy) got a cat. There was a girl in the child’s class who also got a cat, and who said “my cat is half persian, half something, half something else, and half another thing” and the protagonist responded “doesn’t that mean you have 2 cats?”. If I remember correctly, standing up to this girl was a big deal. The only other thing I remember is that the father varnished some wooden floors in their house for a photo shoot, and the cat walked all over the floors, and the dad was mad.
In the second one, I remember even less. A girl got sick, and was going blind (maybe) and her friend/sister thought it was her fault because she fell out of a tree they climbed. But she actually had a brain tumor. It’s possible this is a New Zealand book, because I vaguely remember it mentioning Huka Falls, but I could be confusing 2 books.
Can anyone help? Aside from wanting to figure them out, it is also beginning to drive me crazy. And yes, I have a weird memory. Can remember details from books I read 20 years ago, can’t remember where I left my keys.
