Category: Name That Book Request

It was this book about like a complex political murder mystery that took place over a week in a Princedom (where rulers are a prince) and was part of a larger series no library in my area carried. 

I’m looking for a book I read years ago. It was about a girl who had and shorter leg than the other. She was eating breakfast with her family (cereal) and on the cereal box was an advertisement for a space program. She loves space so she joins and she got accepted. Most of the details are a blur but and and a group of others were the top students from the program and they were taken on a space elevator and shown a box. In the box was something that belonged to a crashed meteor. Every one of the kids had it sucked into their skins and they got powers. Like the main girl got super intelligence. Another girl named Ruth got super strength. I forget what the others got. Oh and one of the top students was a boy that had a sort of romantic relationship with the main girl and he got into the top list because his dad had money and they gave it to the space program.

I read this book in 5th grade. It was about a 10-12 year old girl with a disabled dad. She had a good relationship with her dad. The cover had a ton of school supplies on it and crafts on a wooden table. This is probably very very very unspecific. This is all I remember about that book.

A woman moves with her children to way far Northern California after a divorce to find herself.  A child from the town gets lost sledding and his body sleds down the hill after a thaw.  Author is a woman. 

I want to know this book I used to read when I was a kid, I don’t know its title coz the copy i had, had a missing cover… I am assuming it’s from the 80s or 90s. I know it was a coming of age story, the main character was named Felicity, she was 11 years old, and she had an older sister, idk her name but she was 13. She also had two nerdy friends and all I know is that she was trying to be cool and a “girly girl” like her sister or something like that… I really don’t remember much else. I do know that I learned the word “paraphrasing” from that book, as the MC’s friend used that word coz they were doing a science project.

a book I read around 4 years ago that I forget what it’s called and I heard you can help.  There was a store called “Elliot’s antiques”, the main character had fallen in love with a guy who was deaf I think, and the guy was also in a wheelchair. They had went across the street to a beach from where they were. They met at a therapist, a doctors office or something like that. That’s all I remember. Thank you so much.

So this book is romance. Historical romance, I think. It has about three parts. I think the title is “Masque of Jade.” I can’t remember anything else.

I read a book when I was in elementary school that I haven’t been able to find the name to. I imagine it was a kids novel but I’m not exactly sure but the main character was some sort of kid. I think it may have been a boy but I remember specifically that the protagonist was friends with a ghost. I also remember a scene where he goes outside and sees the friend from a hospital window and it’s like a big moment because I think he didn’t know the friend was a ghost. The vibes were like ‘Noah Barleywater Runs Away’ by John Boyne but I’m pretty certain it’s not that book. 

 i don’t really remember much about this book but i read it when i was younger around 10? it was about this boy who was in an orphanage/care home and he gets an invitation for a competition (i think?) for a famous video game. Basically he has to do some trials and then he passes and a few other kids win the competition too and they end up going to another world and going inside the video game. It could’ve been just him going by himself though. He has to get a cure for the bosses daughter i think. PLEASE i’ve been looking for this for so long!!

I’ve been trying to remember this for years. I’m assuming it was YA, read in 2008/2009. Did not seem to be a ‘classic’, so maybe only published in 1990’s-2008. I remember little about the plot, but there was a young girl who interacted with street performers in London (especially human statue types). The cover was black with a cracked/crumbling stone face on the front. Plot may have had something to do with magic but I’m unsure on that.
