The second was about a young blond girl meeting an older boy during summer and her parents don’t approve but she sees him secretly and they only have the summer to be together. I remember them walking on a boardwalk and watching a concert/show and they end up sleeping together and I remember her wearing white specifically but he’s not there in the morning and I think her parents find out somehow

Looking for two YA novels read both of them around 2008-2010, read them around when I read PLL and what my mother doesn’t know. One was about a good girl and a bad boy(pretty sure that was in the title and I remember the cover having on of the words crossed out/ scratched off) she was either his tutor or working on a project together but she was friends with the librarian and ate lunch in the library and he noticed her one day and they start communicating by writing in a journal she finds in the library, she doesn’t know who she’s talking to though and he makes fun of her for it….

I am looking for a young adult/childrens book. It is a chapter type book. It’s about a glass unicorn figurine that comes to life and it and a girl have adventures. Suggestion: No Flying In the House By Betty Brock

I read a series of books as a teen about a teenager who had an older neighbor and they solved mysteries together. I remember there being several books with mostly a drab gray color for the covers and simple black and white line art inside. I would love to read them again but I have no idea what they are called. I’m 46 now and read these as a teenager. So early 90s time frame.

I read this in the 80s or early 90s: A girl is really struggling both at home and school. Perhaps her family is impoverished, struggling with addiction, etc. At school, she struggles academically and has no friends. Her one escape is a dollhouse located in her classroom. Her teacher has promised at the end of the year a deserving student will get to take the dollhouse home. The main character imagines it will be one of the popular, smart, or athletic kids. She is shocked, on the last day of school, to discover the teacher has chosen her. The teacher has a really beautiful sense of empathy and understanding for this struggling child.

Looking to ID a YA book about a shy high school girl who lives alone with her father-her mother has died or maybe left. She likes a popular boy in school, and he is somewhat friendly with her. She is befriended by a popular, outgoing girl who teaches her about makeup (they go to a department store and the shy girl buys an expensive lipstick) and how to be more confident and outgoing. In the meantime, the popular girl makes herself over to be more shy and quiet and eventually wins the boy’ attention.

I’m looking for a book with has the quote “Nicola wants what Nicola wants.” It’s a story about a girl and a man murdered in the woods with an arrow. Turns out the girl is a manipulative sex worker even though her father is rich and used to be a cop and that’s where the police concentrate their efforts, but turns out the murder was because of the guy and they were murdered by someone named “Michaelson”.

Hello! I’m trying to remember a book I read when I was 11 in 6th grade. I’m 31 now, so the book was definitely not a recent book. It was about a teenage boy trying to uncover what he believes is the murder of his girlfriend. She was believed to have committed suicide from carbon monoxide from her car in the garage. (Spoilers) I know the ending involved him uncovering that it was really the girls mother who somehow had forced her into the car, I believe? I think her mother was somehow jealous of the girl or wanted the attention from the public that her daughters death would bring? It wasn’t a large book, and the chapters were rather short. I believe some of them could be just about a page or two long, so you felt like you were reading really fast. Thank you in advance for the help!

The only things I remember is that it was 2 boys who were friends and they go on some kind of adventure, and I think at one point there’s a falling out and one has to rescue the other. I remember Woodrow Wilson being mentioned, and at one point they were in a large hall of sorts, because that’s where I first learned the term “flying buttresses.” I read it in the 90s but not sure of the pub date. I remember a dusty purple color but that’s it. This has plagued me for years!
