Lost Classics of Teen Lit: Name That Book!

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!

It was about a deep sea fishing crew that found a fish-human hybrid that goes on a rampage to kill it. It was fairly contemporary so would’ve been set in like the 2000s or something. The tag line was something along the lines of “their first mistake was bringing it on-board. Their second mistake was assuming it was dead. Their last mistake was assuming it was the only one.”

I read a book sometime between 2001-2005 about a witch who lives in the woods and is a loner/outcast and it’s deeply cottagecore and I think the cover had a lot of green on it.
