Cat o'nine tails is a great book and its title is really clever. When I took it in to school everone thought it was about a Cat with nine lives. Somepeople thought it was about a Cat with nine tails! I really enjoyed the book and is now going to read Secret of the sirens, Ringmaster and Black heart of Jamacia.

I think Cat and Frank should date each other. From the beginning of the series, i always thought that they seemed more like a couple other thatn Cat and Syd and Cat and Johnny. But i also like her and J-F. I would like to see him in another book. But Frank is my favorite character and i was dissappointed when he didnt appear as often as he did in other books in Black Heart of Jamaica. But anyway, i would LOVE to see more of Frank and J-F. It would be so COOL.

I love the Cat Royal books. Theyre so cool! I think Frank really likes Cat and i think they should go out. I've just finished Cat o' nine tails and i cant wait to read The Black Heart of Jamaica, i keep looking for it at the school libary but its always out! I gave my best friend a copy of The Dimond of Dury Lane and she loves them too! i think the story lines are really origonal and are so exciting, i cant put them down!! I read them even when i'm brushing my teeth!! I think theyre really funny. I think they would make fantastic films. So please make them into films! I think you should hould auditions for Cat though because i think lots of people who dont act profesionaly would like to play her. Keep on writing Julia! Your books are the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (:

Hi Julia, I adore your books and are awaiting your sixith insalment!! I know you books are suppose to be for 9-12 year olds (well thats what section the books are under in waterstones) but the Cat Royal seris are the best books Ive ever read! Im nearly 15 now and all my friends are into the books!! One of my friends actully showed me the book and as soon as I read it, I had to go and buy it!! I have wrote to you in the Q &A poll thing and I defenetly think CAT and FRANK!! are totally made for each other. Especially when his nervous when their in the carriage and his looking at his nails. Any way, they should go out seen as though Cat saved his life! He owes her!! Can you please tell me when the next one will come out?, every time I go shopping i look for it! thanks Julia!!

good luck to you on solving the frank, syd, j-f, billy, charlie and pedro thing its way too complicated for me to choose.i i love the adventures most though and really admire how everything ties in so neatly at the end. They are really unpredictable so that makes them great.I was wondering when the sixth edition will be released.the books are great and i think u should write 18 instead of 9 as she is twice as good as a normal cat so requires twice as many lives.(refering to a comment that you were only writing 9 becuase cats have 9 lives)

This book is CAPITAL! So much adventure was packed into it! I love it when Billy kisses Cat and Frank and Mr. Dixon walk in on them! I am glad that they didn't put 'Pansy' on Cat's tattoo but a black cat instead! Sasakwa sounds really cute and mischeivous!

Hi I Just Wanted To Say I Find Your Books Amazing And I Am Looking Everywhere For The Next Installment 'Black Heart Of Jamaica' And For Some Reason Can't Find It Anywhere. But When I Do I Know I Am Going To Enjoy It. I Love Writing And I Wondered If You Have Any Types On Me Trying To Get A Story Published? I Would Be Grateful. (Hi Persephone - great name by the way! For tips on publishing best to look at the Writer and Artist's Year book - there should be a copy in your local library. For young people, competitions are a good idea - ask your librarian or school teacher. For Blackheart - you can always buy online or get a bookshop to order it in for you! Julia)

I'm sorry, I know it's annoying to talk about Cats future but she should definately be with Syd!!! It determines it in this book, which is my favourite so far!!!

Lucy wrote on 24 March 2008:

All your books are amazing but this is the best one by far !!! I think this book determines that you should be with Syd. He loves you and he's so nice, and you often subtly say he's handsome, which probably means that he's drop dead gorgeous! Although your encounter with Billy Shepherd at the beginning completley changes your view of him. It really shows you that he doesn't hate you, but loves you. Wow, you must be very pretty, if all these people love you ! Lucy
