My book is a chapter book that concerns a river flooding and a girl in the attic, typing on a typewriter. Probably the Mississippi or similar river. Probably took place in the early 1900s. Thanks for any ideas!
2 boys, best friends, who live next door to one another, communicate with one another at or near bed time by writing messages on window shades and shining their flashlights up onto the shade. One of the boys may have been named Andrew. Early chapter book and it was a small series of books. The last one our teacher read to us, one of the boys was moving away at the end. This was read to my class in the 2nd grade (1989-1990), don’t know if it was newly published or something the teacher had been reading to her classes for some time.
Here’s the book my daughter is interested in. The book was about a little kid and all the things the member of his family were good at, and the kid tries each of those things and fails. It was all about how some people are good at certain things and that doesn’t mean you’re terrible if you’re not as good at those same things. The cover, as she recalls, had a picture of the kid with a dog balancing a bone on his nose.
Hello everybody,

I look forward to continuing to work with all of you, and if you have a question or concern please feel free to e-mail me at julie@logan.com
Thanks everybody!
I read this in the 1990s in elementary school – a little boy named Bobby or Boo goes to outer space or imagines he goes to outer space, cute cartoon illustrations of Bobby with a round face but not super colorful – maybe just a couple colors. I remember a scene in his kitchen.
I am looking for a 1960-1980 era book, about a girl with amnesia that ends up working on a horse farm, buys a horse from going to slaughter, and then discovers she used to be rich and jumped show horses. Her step parent [I want to say father] ended up being the culprit. The point of view was from the girl, and I want to say the book starts with a car accident, which causes the amnesia.
Seeking a children’s book from the 80s. Possibly a tombstone on the cover. A mystery. Her parents leave her at home alone. She solves the mystery by reaching into a coffin and finding something. She is wet and muddy.
