Lost Classics of Teen Lit: Name That Book!

I read this mid-grades story as a kid in the 80s. It took place in medieval times and it had a female character named Pentecost, which is the only detail that stuck in my mind. I think the book was kind of old even then, maybe linen-bound.

girl befriends her blind neighbour and they start and she becomes envious of her when they were playing around making clay sculptures and the blind girls turned out better, she ended up smashing it. turns out blind girl hid a star brooch or something important in it, throws a fit and this is all i can remember clearly 😭 i also recall some mention of estella or estrella (blind girls name/nickname?) 

I remember reading this in middle school which would have been 2013ish, which means it was age appropriate enough to be found in a middle school library. It was a teen romance with comedy elements about a girl who is brought back to medieval times with her friends and is swept off her feet by a mysterious black knight who never reveals their face (I think it was a big shock on who their identity was, but I don’t remember). Her friends feel betrayed because I think the knight is supposed to be evil or something? I also specifically remember a portion about cow manure being used to create an explosion or energy. Any help would be appreciated!

I don’t remember the title or author but the book was about a teenager lycanthrope(the definition according to the book is a werewolf that has no humans in his ancestry) that had to travel to the underworld to rescue his friends and was abducted by the king(his friends were bait) and made to fight champions to death in some barbaric sport.

Looking for a YA book that I read around 1996 that had a sci fi setting. The humans had to wear sealed glass helmets which made them sweat, and the sweat would pool in the helmet. They sucked on salt sticks to replace the salt lost in sweat. I also remember the cover of the edition: it had a drawn color image of the female main character and in the illustration she had a really prominent filtrum!

I’m looking for a YA book about a girl who travels during summer vacation? to visit her father. She drives a jeep. There’s a scene where she breaks her leg and gets her cast stuck between the shower tub and the toilet. Her love interest is an older man and she falls for him hard. I thought it was a Meg Cabot novel but I cannot find it anywhere. Please help!

Hello, I am a teenager from Hawaii. For a while now, I’ve been looking for a strange book that I read when I was in 6th grade. I cannot recall what the book was specifically about, but from what I remember of it, the book had a sort of science-fiction theme, and the cover had a depiction of santa in an aloha (?) shirt, riding in the cockpit of a space ship. I also remember that the beginning of the book had a link to a website that I only assume was defunct. I believe that the book might’ve been published between the late 1990s to early 2000s.

 I have been thinking about this book for a while but it’s not YA. It’s an older (maybe 50s) anthology of medieval era fiction short stories. It seemed geared toward children – I read it in 2nd grade in the early 90s and was obsessed with it. Is this something you could help with or is it not within the current scope of your efforts? 

This is a bit younger than your normal fare, but: A girl and her grandfather in Japan.  Her grandfather keeps a pet peacock.  The girl keeps saying “spread your tail you silly peacock” and the bird refuses, until the end when he shows her his tail.  It’s driving me crazy, and has been for decades.  I read it in the mid- to late-80s, from the children’s section of the Oak Park library just outside of Chicago.

I read this book in middle school and for the life of can’t remember the title or author. The main protagonist is a young woman I believe and her mum dies and her dad remarried to a mother who has 2 kids, the oldest is a young man near the main protagonist age and the second kid is a teenage girl. They live in a nice Victorian near a river or creek, that’s a little bit out of town. The stepmoms son came up with a plan to drug the parents with a spiked wine he has hidden so they can go out to the town and go party. The next part is a bit fuzzy but eventually the Son confesses to the main protagonist that he likes her and wants to run away with her and that his family is immortal. The protagonist rejects him, he somehow convinced her to get on a boat and he throws her off of it knowing she isn’t the best swimmer and hopes she just drowns, she somehow doesn’t and makes it back to land. The protagonist finds a shed with the proof that the son was telling the truth about them being immortal and the step mom tells her how they became immortal and then burns the proof. At the end of the book the Stepmother and son tries to run away so they can start a new life leaving the teenage girl behind but they end up in a car crash and dies. So the protagonist is left with this poor girl who lost her family and will forever be stuck as a teenager, but the protagonist steps up and takes care of her and left a note for future generations to know to be kind and patient to the teenager and to take good care of her.
