Request #482 From Megan

It’s a children’s book (I think a chapter book) about a girl who is going to a birthday party (she may not be very well off?). The present she brings the birthday girl is her favorite book (?) or some book wrapped in newspaper, I think it’s the comics page. These girls go to multiple places during the birthday party – they start at a make-over/dress-up place (like Club Libby Lu, but I don’t know if it was named that), and all the other girls get cool outfits like fairies or rockers and protag gets pirate. She definitely is disappointed by this costume as I’m pretty sure she can’t afford to go otherwise and this was her only chance to go. Then they go to a restaurant and I think something bad happens there too. At some point they open presents and protag’s book is the only inexpensive and “uncool” gift. Finally the birthday party ends at a hotel where they are supposed to have a sleepover, I think the girls talk about playing a prank or something, but the protag calls her parents to come home early I think??? I don’t remember any conclusion to it but I remember all the details very vividly.

Pls can you help me find a book where the main character is a red head who got kidnapped with her lover and taken aboard a ship with a cruel captain. She was taken to a far off land where she works as a maid or something,after a long while is rescued by her lover who managed to escape. I think he won her in a card game or dice game,kinda hard to remember.

It was about a girl who was an orphan and on the run either from the government or a secret organization that was after teens with supernatural powers. The girl had recently transferred high schools, and she befriended a boy. I remember the novel being a series but I only read the first book. I think it came out in 2014/2015. Any help finding the author or the title of the novel would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again!

Request #477 From Philippa

 I’m looking for a YA novel where the main characters are Connie and Rudi, and one day they wake up in each other’s bodies. Connie is a normal teen and Rudi is a prince of some kind. Slowly they work out that something is out to get them and during the final showdown bit they switch minds frequently; one of them is climbing a wall; it’s nighttime. I remember the book cover art: light blue background, with one face front on and one face in profile, overlapping in an optical illusion

there’s one book I’ve been dying to remember since being obsessed with it in third grade (around 2011). I think it was a hot pink book and the title was something like “A Girl’s Guide to Life: Everything A Girl Needs to Know” (except I don’t think so because every time I google that I can’t find it). It was full of how-tos and fun facts and history and, like, stuff about the world and different cultures? I remember a page about Amelia Earheart and another about the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle and Easter Island statues, and maybe stuff about animals too? That’s as much as I can remember but I would love to find this book again.
