I am looking for a children’s novel set on an English estate, that involves poaching. Not a Roald Dahl book, and it's from the viewpoint of a child or children living on the estate (likely visiting older relative).

342S: Second Grade Book
I am trying to find a book that my teacher read to me in the second grade. I can remember the cover – lavender with a photo in the center and two snakes on either side. Snakes were a sort of trope in the book. It was either a coming of age or autobiography of a girl who lived in the SouthWestern US. Unfortunately, that is all I remember.
342N: The Magic Pencil (Solved!)
I'm looking for a chapter book that I read when I was ~9 in the early 80s. It's about two kids (boy and girl) who find a magic pencil that changes things to whatever they write. I think they get it from a handyman that uses it to change the length of his ladder, the type of cookies in a box etc. They change their size to 4" and have adventures. I remember a chase with a cat and them visiting a cave of some sort.
342J: Jock the Motocross Rider
The book I'm trying to find is from approximately 1978 and I thought it was a Hardy Boys book. It was hard bound.
Inside the first page or two was an illustration of a motocross rider (dirt bike) with the front number plate having a "2" on it and the riders name is "Jock".
That's all I've got.

341Y: Spooky Bushes Mistaken for Monster
Seeking a 70s children's paperback book with kids involved in a mystery, with a clue or a solution that somehow involves bushes/trees that have appearance of a monster in the dark. It is not about monsters, however. Could be scholastic. . .
