Lost Classics of Teen Lit: Name That Book!

The plot is a girl finds out her dad/uncle is a pirate, her teacher is also a pirate, the dad/uncle is then kidnapped from their house and the teacher and girl go on a rescue mission to find the dad/uncle and the treasure. I feel it was possibly called treasure map? Not sure! 

I have been looking for a children’s short story for about ten years that I think was in a collection of stories, all about teddy bears/bears. I can barely remember it, but what I do remember is this: the story revolved around a village where there was a dark castle on a hill. This woman lived there who barely visited the village and no one ever saw her, they were all frightened of her because they thought she was a witch. Then one day I think some village kids wanted to see what she was like and so they made this young village girl go up to the castle and stay there. Or maybe this old witch kidnapped the girl I can’t be sure but for some reason she ended up at this castle and I think she was sleeping there. She brought her teddy with her which is really important in the story. she saw this old woman crying I think or something but when the old woman saw this little girl’s teddy she was happy because I think it turns out that her son died or something and all she wanted was a friend, she was so lonely after he died which is why she locked herself up in the castle. So this little girl gives her the teddy bear as a comfort and suddenly the old woman is really happy again and her castle turns colourful and she becomes friends with the village people and all because she was given a teddy bear.

It was a children’s book about a little girl that believed in fairies and for some reason got turned into one and lived in a garden amongst the flower petals, and there was a scene describing her drinking nectar. It’s all I remember and I’ve always wanted to find the book again.

The book followed these kids who lived in a lighthouse. The book setting is Europe during WW2. The characters meet Winston Churchill, although I do not remember how or why. I know that either he reveals ou they discover his plan to win the war. Also some chapters follow German sailors! The book cover was supposed to be similar to old-timey maps.

read it in the 2nd grade. Or rather, our 2nd grade teacher read it aloud to all of us. This was maybe 1995, 1996, 1997. So would have had to be out in that timeframe, maybe hot amongst the school librarian crowd. There’s a girl in it named Angel (I think?!) & maybe she lives in a swamp? She wears glasses but THERE IS NO GLASS IN THEM THEY ARE FAKE but the narrator is mega impressed that she wears them just for personality. CAN YOU HELP ME FIND THE BOOK?!

 I am 25 and I believe I read this book series in middle school. All I can remember is the background of each book was white and there was maybe a picture of a girl on the cover (possibly in pinks and purples). The premise of the books was these children(?) that were transported to another place and they were only accepted if they were “pretty”. so they would get surgeries done to alter their appearance. I want to also say in the first book there was a helicopter that dropped them off?? I honestly don’t remember much more or if that even made any sense but I wanted to give it a shot!

I’ve been wanting to find a book I read maybe 10 or so years ago. It was about a girl who I think maybe died and was put in a robot body by her parents, but they didn’t tell her. The only scene I remember in detail is one where she scrapes her knee at a pond and she bleeds white, at some stage she goes inside and maybe finds a computer with a chip in it. I know this isn’t a lot to go off of but I’d love to find it again 

A girl awakens in a Wendy’s (yes, I know it sounds weird… it’s a YA book that was published to print). She eats frosted and fries with a guy. As the book goes on she learns that the guy is her soul mate, and they both died in a car accident. 

It’s a book for 10-13 year olds I would say, it’s got kind of a dark gothic setting and I think it’s about a pair of siblings who go to this school. I remember one scene where one of the characters is walking across the football field after school and a bully or something comes up to them and is mean to them. That’s literally all I can remember. 

I read this book around 2011, and it is sort of a sci fi dystopian YA book. I believe it was a series, but is only remember plot points from the first 1-2 books. It revolves around a boy whose sister (possibly his twin) went missing when they were younger and he’s never seen her since. The city they live in separates the have and have nots. The rich life in high rises closer to the sun, and the poorer people live near the ground and eat genetically modified food that has all of their nutrients inside. They do not eat real food unlike the rich people above. The main boy enters a contest at an arcade (I think?) in the poor part of the city and the contest is a flying and shooting game. One person is the pilot and the other is the gunner in a spaceship like device. He teams up with a female character to win the high score (he is the pilot, she is the gunner). They both get sent off to the upper city and he runs into his missing sister there! The children also all have genetic mutations like webbed toes and I remember distinctly one child looks like a Lion. The genetic mutations are how they are so good at the arcade game. I think they find out that they are all being trained to fight in the military and the arcade game was a test to see who would be best for the positions.
