She read this book in the 80s, it was about a scientist that used gorillas with human brains as henchmen to steal beautiful peoples bodies to sale. He would the put rich peoples bains s in the other bodies 

The book I’m looking for was in the late 80s/early 90s. It was about a group of high school students who were all missing an extracurricular activity, so they were assigned to create the school’s yearbook to fulfill that requirement to graduate. There was the pretty blonde from an upper middle class family, an artsy/misfit type girl, and a loner guy who turned out to be wealthy, and at least one other student (maybe an athlete?). It was almost like Breakfast Club, but in a yearbook class setting. I think it had yearbook in the name, but I’m not entirely sure, and searches for yearbook haven’t brought up this book. Any help is appreciated!

I’m looking for a British YA book from the 70s or 80s. A young couple gets married and lives in a flat in an apartment house in London filled with lots of different characters. I remember they were always looking for change to feed the heat meter to stay warm. She gets pregnant and has a baby boy and when her very uptight mother comes to visit all of the neighbors bring them furniture to make it seem like she’s got it all together. Any ideas?

it’s a mid- to late-mid 20th century novel by a UK female author; it ends with an intentional deadly car crash. The driver is a teen who deliberately kills herself and her boyfriend (he’s in passenger seat). It’s her revenge for the cruel treatment he subjects her to.   Does that ring any bells? 

 I read this book some time between 1978-1982. It was really special for me. There were about 5 kids from various backgrounds who lived in a children’s hospital. The hospital might have ben “Belleview”, and there may have been a character named “Brock”. There was also a hispanic character. I think he was in a wheelchair. The details are murky, and the hospital may have had a different name. When they snuck out of the hospital and went on adventures their infirmities would diminish. My elementary school librarian probably siggested this book for me. I was a really good reader. If you can help me find it again I qould be very grateful

I have been searching for a book title I read around 1980. It is a young adult book about a boy (and his siblings) who leave a house of neglect… often escaping to an abandoned house.  I don’t remember a lot about the book except some type of super natural effects in the house the children escape to.  It was emotional.  It didn’t seem like a mainstream book. I just cannot recall this.  Please let me know if you can help me find this. I am grateful

I remember reading it between 6th and 8th grade in the late 80s. All I remember is (I think) a modern girl, maybe 13 or 14 years old, wakes up in ancient egypt. I don’t remember anything of the plot, only that I enjoyed this book. 

 My sister is on the hunt for a book with a purple cover that she studied in grade school circa 2002 but believes it’s from the late 80s/early 90s about a brother and sister who move into a haunted house. I realize that probably describes a great deal of books but if you or your readers could narrow it down to a few possibilities, we can go from there. 

I read this book in the 1960s.  It is a teen book about a girl who has very long hair.  The girl is not popular at school.  Every day after school her mother would serve tea to her.  This girl is going to go to a summer camp as a counselor.  On her trip there she has her hair cut. Her hair now has a wave in it.  At the camp she finally finds acceptance as a person.  I would love to know the title and author.  I can’t stand remember either one.
