The Cat Mummy
Nick Sharratt. Nick Sharrat illustrated most of Jacqueline Wilson's books.
Her best friend, Sophie. Sophie had four kittens and her mum said that they couldn't keep four kittens so she offered one to Verity.
Miss Smith. Miss Smith is Verity's favourite teacher and throughout the book none of the other names are mentioned.
She made her into a cat mummy. She was so choked up she could barely make a sound so she couldn't have told her grandmother. She didn't want Mabel to be buried and she couldn't leave it as it would smell so she made her into a cat mummy. She knew how to as she was learning about the ancient Egyptians. She also didn't tell anybody about it.
In her wardrobe. The day before when Verity shouted at Mabel, she disappeared and Verity couldn't find her. Verity was going to take a nap when she came home from school. Even though it was a hot day, she felt cold and shivery. She went to get her winter dressing gown from her wardrobe and that is where she found Mabel, dead.
Because Mabel got sick and Verity stepped in the cat's sick. Verity was wearing open-toed sandals which made it a lot worse and that is why she shouted at Mabel.
Freesias. Verity's grandmother always arranges freesias in a little vase and puts them on Verity's mum's grave.
Behind Verity. Moyra sits behind Verity and she always wraps her arm somewhere on Verity's body pretending that she is Crusher, her boa constrictor snake.
Sophie. Her best friend is Sophie, her second best friend is Laura, Aaron is her sort-of boyfriend and Moyra is her worst enemy.
Licky. His full name is Licquorice Allsorts but he gets called Licky for short.
