Category: Name That Book Request

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!

 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

Looking for a book I read in the early 80s. Similar theme to Lord of the Flies. All the adults died or disappeared.  The teenagers and kids taught themselves to drive and even fly a plane. 

I’m searching for a story that was read to our class around 1967. It was about a Viking flying ship ! If I remember correctly they went on various adventures.

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.

I am hunting a short book/story, which I think might be from the 60s, and maybe with a pink cover. It’s about a lady who may have some kind of mania, and progressively sells all of her belongings in hope of buying ?a handbag (maybe i made this bit up). Thank you!

One book I’d like to find again has eluded me for years, despite umpteen searches. I think it was inspired by the Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, and Encyclopedia Brown. All I remember is a family (cousins?) visiting a house and seeing little colored (windup?) mice.

I read this book in 6th grade (2000-2001). It was about an archaeological dig – they were looking for the missing link. There were chapters about the daughter of the archaeologist, and also about a girl of the species they were studying. The missing link girl used nets to catch fish. 

For years I been trying to remember the name of a book which involves small creatures pushing each other down a hill in a tin can. I feel like I’ve imagined it but the memory seems so real! Can you help?

The book I’m trying to recall is about a girl whose name I don’t remember but it was kind of unique I think. She’s being raised by a single father and he develops some kind of brain condition that leaves him bedridden. Then a bunch of his friends come to take care of him. I remember they paint like a whole mural on his wall at one point and I also remember that one of them is a therapist.
