Thanks for the info! It's good to know the books came first.
Big, big shame about the ghostwriters. Huh, from wiki:
Typically, K. A. Applegate would write a detailed outline for each book, and a ghostwriter, usually one of Applegate's former editors or writing protégés, would spend a month or two writing the actual novel. After this, Applegate, and later her series editor, Tonya Alicia Martin, would edit the book to make it fit in with the series' tight continuity. Ghostwriters are credited for their help in the book's dedication page: "The author would like to thank [ghostwriter name] for his/her help in preparing this manuscript."
I guess... it could be worse. At least she had a hand in it/controlled what happened? :/
Good to know they're quick reads though. I guess that's why this series by her is reading so quickly, too.
