Ah, yes, 'tis the time of matric exams, n'est pas?

Trials. Finals start on Oct 12. My first is on Oct 20.... :D

So nice not to have to explain matric but I'll do it before someone asks.... (I know someone will. They always do....)

Matric is what the last year of high/secondary school in South Africa is called. Grade 12/Year 12/Standard 10

Clear as mud?

You forgot to mention Form 5, or are they not calling it that anymore?

And best of luck!

Form 5?

Never heard it called that. Sounds suspiciously like my father's stories though about Sub A and Sub B.

It's now Grade 12 or Matric.

Sewsew, you are not the only one! After reading this thread and learning about some sort of mutant earthworm, I grew increasingly suspicious and grabbed my copy to check.

I don't have chapter 13 as well!! I feel cheated...missing such a supposedly crucial and amusing portion of the story.

Is there anyway to read it? I don't believe my book supplier has TBOE in any edition other than American.

I was under the impression he didn't put them in, All the Thursday Next series were missing them to, I think we went over that in one of the other forums as well, thats a bummer, I want to read that..how tragic.

Ummm.. I just finished this book for a book report and I have no chapter thirteen. Would someone mind bringing me up to date on it? I might need it. Thanks.

Errr, Kat_Gurl,

have you read the earlier answers in the thread? I suspect not. Try it and all will be clear.

Regards

To be a little more specific, no, there's no Chapter 13 in any of Fforde's books. He always lists it in the table of contents, but the page number is simply the page before the start of Chapter 14.

And there may or may not be some hidden secret behind the names of the 'chapter 13's. But we're not sure.

But a different tradition in England where a score of 111 (team or individual) prompts a similar course of action.

and another tradition to not watch cricket until........well just not watch cricket.
