Looking for the book 'Island in the Mist' published circa 1940 and was serialized as an audio play by the BBC in that decade, and is about a mist-hidden island in south east Asia inhabited by mermen. Would like to know the author's name.
I am looking for information on a children's book about a group of men on a journey through a mountain, each with a special tool or power needed on the journey like a hammer and lantern.
-Main character is a young girl.
-Girl goes to live with her aunts (might be good friends of parents and not relatives)
-Things seem normal except the girl is forbidden to read from a certain book the aunts have.
-One day the aunts get kidnapped and the girl must go into another world to find them.
-The girl has a companion that is a little dwarf, gnome, or other weird creature.
-As the girl progresses in her journey she learns new spells that help her progress.
-At one point the girl must get a new guide given to her by the bad guy (maybe) but she knows a spell that forces her old companion to tell the truth if the new guy is trustworthy so she gets a different one.
I know these details are really random but perhaps a random google search will get some stranger’s attention and they can help out. Or maybe one of you have just been holding out on me! 🙂
I have searching for this book for a while. It is something I read in middle school. I’m 36 years old. The book was about a high school girl that was dating her brother’s best friend. It takes place in a state in the US where it snows and some or all of the book takes place during winter. I remember there was a window seat where she drank hot chocolate and looked out and saw him in the front yard. There was also a scene where they got into a fight and to prove himself to her he built himself a place to sleep in the snow in her front yard. I remember the Mom remarking that it was cold out there. Unfortunately I don’t remember the title or author or names of the main characters but I remember the book being well written and very age appropriate for middle school and early high school. I hope you can figure it out!! I would love to grab a copy for my home library. Thank you!
Hello everybody, I am looking for a children's book about small hairy creatures that can turn into any pattern or color all except the color purple. They find things like the borrowers, though they aren't the borrowers.
I don’t know the name of the book. It’s not the main character. One guy is a bar or club owner, he is engaged to a reporter.
