Kristy Thomas 2

Childhood Experiences
Kristy, the daughter of Elizabeth Thomas-Brewer and Patrick Thomas, was born on
August 20th in Stoneybrook, Connecticut at 4:00 a.m. She has lived on Bradford
Court since birth living next to Mary Anne Spier and across the street from Claudia
Kishi.

Kristy wasn't a fussy baby, a crier not a mover. Mrs. Frederickson was her first-
grade teacher. Mrs. Jeffries was her second-grade teacher. In fifth grade, she got
into a lot of trouble for talking back to the teacher and pouring a Yoo-Hoo down
Alan Gray's shirt. Her teacher sent a note home to her mother. She attended Camp
Topnotch at age ten.

She mentioned that she cried when her dad first left in Kristy's Big News. In the
book, it's also mentioned that her dad left when she was six years old.

In Mary Anne to the Rescue, it's mentioned that Kristy once has a febrile seizure.

One of her earliest memories is about her dad tossing her a wiffleball in Kristy at
Bat.

It's mentioned in Kristy and the Mother's Day Surprise that she's the one that made
her up and Mary Anne Spier's flashlight code.

In third grade she beat up a boy who was teasing her on the playground and gave him
a black eye. That evening his parents brought him to her house just to yell at her
in Kristy's Worst Idea.

When she was 10, Kristy wanted to marry her mom to the mailman so David Michael
could have a dad, according to Elizabeth in Kristy and the Mother's Day Surprise.

She entered the science fair a few times when she was elementary school which she
mentioned in Jessi's Baby-sitter.

She had fifth grade with Claudia Kishi and Mary Anne Spier. In the same grade she
once tricked Alan Gray with a fake lunch. He's developed a crush on her ever since
in Claudia and the Phantom Phone Calls.

She had a fear of mummies when she was young, which she mentions in Kristy and the
Vampires.
