Nancy Springer answered Frank's question: Sorry if this was asked already, my daughter in love with this series, we just bought her all the books, and she loved the movie. I am a little confused on one thing, are there two titles to Book 6? I bought The Gypsy Good-Bye and Disappearing Duchess. Are these the same book? Thanks, she hopes you put out more EH stories. Yes, confusingly enough, they are the same book. The title of the Case of the Gypsy Good-Bye is being changed to the Case of the Disappearing Duchess.
