This book appears to be written by an ex-boyfriend and girlfriend who agree to write alternating chapters. The book includes their email conversations as they struggle over where the plot will go and rehash relationship mishaps. It is very funny. The mystery plot involves a brother and sister who live in a rural area. He grows pot illegally and she works as a barista….

337W: Scared Ghost Loses His Candy
I had this book back around kindergarten and now I’m a senior. I remember it was a block book, (I could be wrong, however) it was small, and it was a Halloween book. Sadly, the only piece of plot I remember is that the ghost ate candy, and then when it got scared, the candy fell out of him. I hope this helps!!
337T: Girl Starves Herself Trying To Feed Dead Brother
I randomly remembered a book I read probably a few years ago now. I only remember a few oddly specific things.
For starters, this main girl had a brother and she would bring food out to their yard to him and that is just always where they met up. By a tree, I think. Then later we find out that the brother is actually dead and she has been imagining this all. And the food she was giving him in like these sandwich bags is her food and she wasn’t eating. So she sort of accidentally starved herself. And I think at a point near the end, the parents see all of the sandwich bags full of food out by the tree and sort of realize what has been going on.
That is all I can remember, I hope you can help!!
337S: Boy Rows Boat Through Fog
I can picture the cover perfectly. I read it in the early 90’s. A boy is in a small row boat and it is foggy. All I can remember is something about a small island he finds close to his house……good luck!
337R: Children’s European Story Collection
Hello! I am looking for a storybook collection that I had in the 1980’s.
337Q: Hearts and Flowers
I am looking for a 1920’s-30s romance, where the heroine earns her living being a professional letter writer, and she begins a correspondence with a young man (invalid/injured?) using the persona of an elderly motherly woman. The only other detail that I can recall is she sent the young man some women’s hats and requested that he choose the one he liked for her.
337P: Tearjerker
I am looking for a 1920s-30s illustrated children’s book where the plot revolves around a rich little boy who is injured (toy boat explosion), who stays at home communicating through his window with the poor little girl who lives across the street. His head is wrapped in gauze. The format of the book may be square?
337O: Children Stories About Science
337N: Earth History As Scenes In A Play (Solved!)
Children's illustrated science book about earth history, in which each age (formation of the solar system, age of dinosaurs, building Egypt's pyramids, etc.) is presented as a scene on stage in a play, with curtains to the sides. Last scene is at a typical house in the present day. Might have been printed in the 1930s or 1940s, was available in a grade-school library in the late 1970s.
