Have little to go on. Believe purchased via Scholastic Book Club or at Scholastic Book Fair between 1977 and 1981; a short-read, 1–2” children’s novel; think it’s published by Scholastic; it might be a supernatural or science fiction thriller; white paperback with cover art, possibly with kids and a Ferris wheel; main characters are kids, with the climactic event at a carnival with a Ferris wheel with swinging lights?
Stump the Bookseller
New format, same book stumper solving.
‘Into the dream’ by Sleator, William; Sanderson, Ruth?
Publication date 1979 (Scholastic)
Gill, that’s it! Had no clue this was Sleator—House of Stairs, etc. Couldn’t recall the plot, only imagery. My copy had cover illustration by Lydia Rosier. I recall seeing the Ruth Sanderson cover at the library. Bravo.
Scholastic,1979; ISBN 0-590-31246-4.
Moderator, please mark as solved. Thanks.
Another vote for William Sleator’s Into the Dream. I loved this book!
Correct! Couldn’t recall the plot but remembered being affected by the characters and the dreamlike imagery.
