Category: Name That Book Request

There was a little mouse family that lived on a farm, it was a novel though not a picture book, and they lived in an old tin can? And the farmer plowed the field with a machine for the first time and there was a tense moment where they almost lost a baby mouse

Looking for a children book. On the cover was a man in a top hat traveling around in a submarine.

There was a girl who fell in love with a boy (maybe someone who moved new into town?) and she drove a truck to go see him and I remember it being like she drove to the nearby mountain, then to the next one to try and find him again.

i think someone’s name is spider or something and these teens fall in love and run away together. then at the end one of them mills themselves i think? idk i read it so long ago

okay had one read it when i was like 9. there’s a kid who adopts a dog idk what kind. but the whole thing was dog was being used as a fighting one and he finds like a happy ever after with the boy. kinda short

I’m wondering if you could help me find a book I used to be obsessed with in middle school, I don’t know when it was wrote but it was a smaller book, hardcover and I wanna say it was orange. It was about a girl whose father & sister had left or died (I think died) & she was writing to them and then started taking a photography class & using her dads old camera. There’s also mention of a beach in it. I know it’s a long shot but it’s the only book that hooked me

Read this children’s/YA book in a random used bookstore growing up in Lawrence, KS, have been trying to find it again for the last ~15 years. Maybe the cover was red? The main theme is solipsism, which is referenced by name numerous times (how I learned the word solipsism as a kid, lol) — the main character is a teen, can’t remember if girl or boy, who becomes convinced that their whole reality is a fiction invented by their brain, and people/scenes will just stop existing once they leave them. They try various things to test this hypothesis, like leaving a room and then quickly going back in, to see if they can catch things disappearing. Their parents make a living traveling around selling things at craft fairs. They move somewhere, I think California, and rent a house from a family that had two children, a girl and a boy — the girl’s bedroom is stereotypically pink and frilly, the boy’s bedroom has model airplanes hanging from the ceiling, there’s a big American flag in the living room. One particular scene I remember, the kid goes down to a river and sees a fisherman in a boat and a kingfisher, tries for awhile to determine whether the fisherman and kingfisher will continue to exist when they leave/look away … My memory of actual plot points is fuzzy but I think towards the end they are attending a craft fair

A YA book i think set in the Phillipines where this boy won’t stop growing?? I think he had a tumor or something im not sure but I read this book ages ago and I cant find it. Had a blue cover i think

Hi! I’ve been searching for a specific book for years now, and this is honestly my last hope haha. I read this book around 2016, could be earlier but around that time. It’s a young adult book about a group of delinquent teens who are sent to a camp with a super strict counselor. I think it’s written in the points of view of each different teen (both boys and girls) but I’m not sure. I remember that they were forced to hike this really long trail and the counselor was yelling at them the whole time. There was also a scene in the book where the teens sneak into the counselors tent to use the radio but I think it was broken or something. And in the end the teens all tried to escape through a cave but there was a flood and I’m pretty sure the counselor followed them to the cave and drowned. That’s pretty much all I know. Thank you!

I need help finding a fantasy/sci-fi book of my youth (late 1970s/early 1980s). Swords and sorcery adventure with a hero who returned from the Crusades. He fought with an unusual, curved sword called a “falchion” that he picked up in the Middle East. I think there may have been a series, but I only read one. Help!
