Category: Name That Book Request

A Book about a failing little league baseball ball team. Coach’s granddaughter comes back into town and goes round whipping all the players into shape one by one. She had such a smart mouth. Can’t remember the author but most likely an American. 

It was an adventure/action/mystery book that was well at least 300 pages long. It followed these two brooding-looking dark haired twins (one girl, one boy) who were exploring the mystery of their family history? I think it had something to do with their father specifically? There was a moment with a cliff I think, and a tiger! But it was very wacky and so much was going on. I read it in elementary school and it was my favorite book ever. 

 book I read in middle school on my kindle and I can’t remember the title but I know it was about some girl and possibly her neighbor boy? Anyways the most solid thing I remember is the ending where the boy goes to break up with his girlfriend and they get in an accident while it’s raining. The girlfriend goes through the windshield because she wasn’t wearing her seatbelt but the boy is relatively fine. He leaves the car to check on the girlfriend but doesn’t see the broken power line next to her. He sits down to check on her and puts his hand in a puddle and it’s electrified from the power line and he fries and dies this book altered my brain chemistry and i would love to witness that again. Thanks! 

” Boy goes on a journey looking for a green emerald with a ‘nature’ girl and dwarf. I don’t remember much but the journey ends in a castle because the nature girl gets kidnapped and he has to save her. and the emerald is such a big thing”

Greek mythical fiction book. I read it in the late 2000s so please bear with me. I think it was set in present-day and the main character worked in a library with other Greek mythological characters? Pretty sure that the mc was a teenage girl that had a conflict with Athena at the climax of the book and it was connected to Arachne. 

The book is a take on red riding hood. The main character has a sister who is favorited by their parents and is ‘perfect’. In the first few chapters it mentions how her sisters water is always sweetened with honey. I believe they live in a mining town? Basically the wolf is a werewolf and keeps killing off the townsfolk. There’s some sort of leadership that comes into the town to help them but really just wants to take over the town. This antagonist leader at some point puts a small boy (the main characters friend?) in an ‘iron elephant’ to torture him into admitting he’s the wolf. The boy dies. The wolf ends up being her father?

YA book: young teen tennis celeb is sent to Alaska to hide from paparazzi and cuts her hair short  and gets a nose piercing and ends up loving taking the cold showers and falls in love with a boy, 

I read when I was 13 a mythology book that wasn’t necessarily YA. I think it might have been a black paperback with white text. Each chapter was a different love story. I think the guys were knights and there were forests. Not the typical Greek god stories though I do remember one like Persephone and one like Sisyphus so maybe it was. It was the most romantic thing I’ve ever read.

I only have a few details but I would have read this in elementary school. No idea if it would have been new or old then, but def published before like 2000. From what I remember, a kid has a sister (younger?) who goes out in a snowstorm (to protect a lamb? a lamb is involved) but goes missing. Turns out she gets caught in some sort of alterate world/fairy realm/possibly a snow globe?? (I know this sounds insane lol.) But I would love to know if anyone can ID it!

This is a YA drama/romance that was most likely made in the 2010s. It was about a girl who has an older sister that disappeared and left clues for her. The night she figured out her sister was missing, she met a guy at a party who apparently knew the sister and they went on an extensive road trip to find her.  I read this when i was 15 and have been trying to find it for years.
