Why change the name of main character?
I have recently re-read some books from my childhood. They are The Indian in the Cupboard books. Great stories, but does anyone know why in the 3rd book the author (Lynne Reid Banks) changed Little Bulls name to Little Bear? Also Twin Stars became Bright Stars. This irritated me as a child, and now 20 years on it’s still bothering me. Anyone who could shed some light on this would be well appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
im sorry but i have no idea
that really annoys me too
most of the books that i have re read have changed names of characters
i dont know why they do that
