Category: Name That Book Request

I barely remember the details of this book. Would have read it between 2008-2012. To sisters who are I believe korean-american, sit in the car while their mom works in the factory. The main character is the younget sister. That is all I can remember and I have always wanted to reread it to figure out more of what it was about.

It’s a children’s book. It is about different animals, like safari animals, etc. The pictures/art were almost like a watercolor — very whimsical, pinks and purples. I remember a giraffe, a leopard, and a lion in it. I want to say it had something to do with heaven but I’m not really sure. When I think of it I also think of clouds and the sky.

Hi omg im so glad i found this site. I read this book in middle school, so early 2010’s (probably 2014?) (definitely a YA fiction) and it was about two girls and a brain transplant. one of them was this famous super model or something (can’t remember what she did exactly, i just know that she was famous) and the other was this ordinary girl. can’t remember many details but i know one of the girls got hit by a massive tv and ended up in the hospital (im thinking it was the ordinary girl) and the famous girl ended up in the hospital with some terminal brain illness (i think, the details on how the famous girl wound up in the hospital are super blurry but i just know they ended up in the hospital at the same time). the doctors at the hospital then transplant ordinary girls brain into famous girls body. ordinary girls body is now dead and she has to live her life as the famous girl but with all her old memories. that’s all i can remember and i’ve been looking all over for it, it would be great if someone could help me figure out the name. thanks in advance!!

Pretty sure it was by Dean Koontz but not 100% sure. A guy is a villain/therapist who preys on people and makes them think they have mental illnesses. He convinced a lady she has agoraphobia. The main character and her husband (Dusty Rhoades i think was his name?) Investigate the guy but he tries getting into their heads too.

Hi! I’m looking for a series that I read in the 2010s, and was probably published in the 2000s, maybe the 90s. I remember the cover of the third or fourth book, and it has a brunette girl centered with sprawling hills behind her. I think it had mostly brown tones. There may be ogres in the series, and possibly a Gandalf type of character. I believe I found it in the same section as Fablehaven, and it might’ve been written in a similar vein. I loved this series, but cannot remember what it is! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’d like to give this a shot – I’m sure I once read a book that had surreal dog-themed stories. I remember it being a compilation of short stories without illustrations. My brain is telling me that one of the stories involved a boy who swaps bodies with his dog, and another one was about a dog getting cryogenically frozen. I think there were more stories besides those two, and I think they all involved dogs in some way, but I can’t be sure since those are the only two stories that come to mind. I don’t know when the book came out, but I would’ve read it around 2003-2005. I don’t think it was new at the time, so it would’ve been published before then. And I think the author was a man, but I’m not entirely sure of that either.

YA book I would’ve read in jr. high or elementary (around 2004-2008). The only scene that is memorable is a young boy turns down for the night onto his matress/cocoon and is able to rip pieces off of it. Some kind of edible cellulose or cellophane? Any help would be so appreciated.

So the book I’m looking for was a fantasy book meant for younger/teen children. It was half novel/ half comic book. The little girl and brother share a love for a fantasy movie/world/game (I don’t remember) so her and her brother go to the local carnival and they go through the tunnel of love except he goes missing on the ride and she has to go to this fantasy world to find him (there was multiple books in the series but I only ever read book one)

Hi, I’m looking for a book I bought at a used book store in the early 90s. I think it was published in the late 80s. It was about a girl whose family moved to a beach town in California in the summer. When told to get out of the house to explore the town, she met a group of kids her age (12-15, I think). The other kids didn’t want anything to do with her at first, but she eventually befriended them. They spoke differently from everyone else, replacing words with their own alternate words (like ordering burgers with “cries” instead of onions); she translated the altered phrases for her friends when they were speaking to people outside their circle. When she started speaking like her friends, she started to lose herself and realized that something was wrong. In the end, she was able to save herself and her friends from whatever was taking away their senses of self. I thought the name of the book was “Starchild” or something like that, but “Starchild” is a different book. TIA for any help you all can provide.

I read a book between 2004-2007 in junior high. It definitely had an extraterritial aspect where a child loses body mass due to the climate of the “planet” he/she is on. It’s the first book where I learned how long the human body can survive without food ans water. I also think the terrain was red/red sand. I’m fairly certain the author is male.
