Seeking a small (I think it was green with ivy on the cover) children’s book about a little girl who is not allowed in her sister’s room without permission for fear she will make a mess. She gets in one day and does make a mess while playing, but then cleans it up. If I remember correctly her sister is angry when she realizes her little sister went in without permission, but then forgives her when she sees how tidy her room was left.
I'm looking for a book from my childhood. It is a small red children’s book about a kitten who asks his mother and Santa for a baby brother/sister kitten for Christmas... and gets one!
A teen girl whose family has died is sent to live with relatives (maiden aunts?) in a part of the United States that still follows more Scottish customs than American customs, including holidays, and she experiences major culture shock. I believe the title character is named Ellen. The cover shows her at the door wearing a shift mini-dress, so the novel probably was written in the late 1960s or early 1970s. This novel is the first time I encountered the word “haggis.”
I cannot remember a lot about this book, but I know that the main “character” is a girl (it’s a short, mainly picture book) and I think she has a family too, like brothers. And I think they may live in a castle, surrounded by a moat. I seem to think there’s something to do with animals as well, whether they go to the zoo or have animals. I also vaguely might think there’s something to do with flying or a flying car/some type of vehicle/plane thing, but that could be wrong. Please help!!!!
Hi Folks,
I’m looking for a YA title about a girl trapped in a relationship with a psychopath. For a while she tries to overlook his evil and thinks that she might be able to change him. In the end she has to kill him to escape (before he kills her).
Truth told. I’m looking for a good comparison title for a book I just wrote. A good, fairly recent book about this would be perfect.
Thanks.
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! 🙂
