If you don't find what you're looking for in your library's catalog, ask a librarian to locate it elsewhere in the huge national loan network. Tell the pros as much about the book as you can. Title and author are most important, but publisher and publication date or even a good guess at it can be helpful too. They'll do the rest. I need to find this book about a boy who has a younger brother who is mentally disabled autism, down sundrome, ect.
He is sometimes embarrassed by his younger brother. One day, he was with his little brother and his friends, and his little brother fell into some ice. Instead of the older brother helping him out, the younger brother who was mentally disabled had to get out himself and walk home. He later got pneumonia and died from it right before Christmas. Christmas came along and the older brother opened a present from his younger brother.
It was a letter saying how much the little brother loved him and how he wanted to be like him someday. Somewhere in the book, the older brother said, "I am not my brother's keeper".

I remember a little girl able to see dark shadowy creatures and when she tried to touch one she began to bleed. I also remember that her parents were both doctors and that the mother drove a mercedes and the father drove a ferrari.
Neither one seemed to have time for her and I believe she befriended the creatures in the end, but I could be wrong. And like one chapter is all about this knot that's in town. It was kind of na adult novel and i lost interest soon. But i can't remember the name of it.
There was a girl who used to draw sketches of human model and there she meets a medical student. She leaves her boyfriend and goes to him. That's all i read. All I can remember is there is a teenager who falls into a hole and is found and captured by a witch. She escapes and frees an evil fae folk by wearing a fur coat that turns her into a Fox. The elf has handcuffs on made of I think silver as it burns their wrists. A young man is in a rowboat in the flooded streets of the small town trying to save people stuck in their houses, and he finds a mysterious and beautiful young woman at an upper window and takes in his boat.
They fall in love and have a daughter. Twin daughters of a human father and river creature who can take human form. The human twin is about to be raped and the river twin saves her and kills the rapist. In the end the river creature is able, with the help of her twin, to go to the Gulf and swim to the ocean where she belongs. It is written over a number of books. I think around 4. All I know is that I'm looking for a book I read as a kid, it was where some boy got turned into a pie.
I need to know what this was so I can prove someone wrong. I dont remember anything about it cos I never finished it but it was about a boy who was meant to be a hero or something and dreamed about boy tied up in a tree and he had blue eyes or blue hair I really don't know I would love to finish it. Also i think it was a brown cover and it wasn't a YA novel it looked like a kids book. There are about 2 to 3 stories in this one book. It's setting is Christmas. The first story was about 3 sister's that are witches and a guy who is a police man who investigates them but ends up falling for one of them.
The other story was about a guy who lost his wife in a fire the wife was a drug addict and smokes they had 2 Children and he fell in love with their nanny or maid the guy got burns all over his body so he went to an island with his friends he was a part of a band and he left his children with their maid until the children almost died so they went to the island to be with their father and thats when the guy and the maid?
But then they discover one of his friend was behind the fire and the children's little accidents because he didn't want the guy to leave the band. Do you guys know this book title and author?

This is a kids book about a little brother who goes missing.

Then the witch put a magical spell on them where they all became lined with little candy wrappers and tasted all different and amazing. She shared them with her siblings and her two little sisters would not share them with her little brother so her little brother stole the candies and ran away.

I think it was called spelled or enchanted or curses and the cover had two hands reaching towards eachother with green fire wrapped around them.

Looking for an early 70's book- autobiography. Looking for an autobiography from the early '70's. Talks about her experiences training and showing her dog. Was available through scholastic. Hi there as a 90s slacker a friend if mine told me about a comic novel he was reading about a producer making a film about the Wreck of the Deutschland. I think there was some problem with the nuns' costumes being too racy, or maybe safety issues, but I can't be sure. Happy times in Hammersmith pubs and semi derelict houses. I'm looking for a children's book from either the 's or late 70's.
It was an illustrated storybook that was accompanied with an audio cassette of a man telling the story along with sound effects. As I was only a child when I had it I can't remember much about it apart from there was a young person with a small wooden dog possibly that was on wheels and they head into a dark forest covered in snow. Sorry I know those details are very sketchy but thats all I can remember!
I do remember loving the story so much and would love to get my hands on it again after all these years to read with my own children! If anyone can help I'd be forever grateful!!

Kaung4life Thirteen Days to Midnight sounds like the last book you described, good luck in finding all your books!! The events of this urban novel focuses on the husband after his wife kills herself in front of him and his mistress.
Has anyone heard of this story? Hi I've been looking for this book hoping its not a figment of my imagination because the same year I checked it out from my middle school library, I went to go back to look for it and there was no record of it. I can't remember BIG details but its a girl and her best friend who want to train to become soldiers for their town? And there also exist healing magic that everyone looks down upon. She visits a healing doctor in which she becomes somewhat interested in magic.
I believe this magic involves talking to plants. The cover of the book, the print is a girl holding a leaf to her chest. The hard copy of the book is just a brown book with the outline of a leaf in gold. I'm looking for a book that I read in Middle or High school about a girl who draws her own comics and gets bullied a lot for it so she retreats to an online RPG to meet a guy on it who helps her feel better and then later finds out he's a guy who goes to her school and is one of the most popular guys in school.
The cover is white and has a drawing of 2 girls meeting in the middle of the book at the waist and are opposite to each other horizontally. One girl has long blonde hair and is an Elf and the other girl I think has brown hair. It is probably a teen novel. I am looking for a book that I read in highschool around This boy found a book or a box of some sort that allowed him to go to this like spirit world. There he learned about this prophecy that he was involved in.
Come to realize it was him and his sister that were needed to defeat the evil immortal. I think the sister had this blossoming relationship with one of the knowledge immortals or something like that. I have a hard time remembering the author, titke, and basic ploy of the book but I would really love to read the series again. I think it was like 3 or 4 books.
I'd appreciate any help from the very vague description lol. I am looking for a book about these girls that live in a time where people are all broke and oppressed and like this girl and her best friend who pretended to be her sister to got to the same like boarding school and like the one girls parents had money and the friends didn't and so like they trick the school with like fake id bracelets and they like have their entire lives on like technology and the school takes it away from them and they go in to some remote place in the woods and they learn survival skills and like how to use guns but it turns out the school is really an enemy like spy training school and so they escape and like they meet some boys spend the night in a cabin that is also the enemy's and so they run away that's all I know tho so.
I need help finding a book I believe its a short series, maybe 2 or 3 books total. Its about a boy that was born and mother was killed while he was young. A man took him in and raised him. He grew up and had powers many people in the book have a particular power but most keep secret. He gets arrested and has to help a King's youngest son get landed or face execution. One of the King's advisors is also someone with powers and is trying to kill and take all other powers from those that have them.
This is a fantasy series and for the life of me cant remember the name or author. It's a harlequin romance book. Hero and heroine are in love and heroine becomes pregnant. Hero's father tries to pay her off. So heroine leaves hero and have the baby. Hero meets his son. I need help with a title and author of a book i read in the last year or so..
Female teacher possibly named Holly who is dumped before Christmas holiday break and a male teacher a widower possibly named Simon invites her to go to a cabin in Scotland with him. It is a novel I believe it's called believers or something of the sort. The author I believe is a native American, and the book is very complex I didn't get far enough to find the underlying plot. It's filled with underworlds and corrupt cops and murder and there's a scene where children are in hell and helping each other survive while a corrupt god tortures them.
In the scene with the kids in the beggining of the book, they escape from the back of a cop car and run for hours while they're epoxied zombies bodies fall apart. The book bounces around a timeline and different settings, making it like a puzzle. There's a scene where the cop talks about how his dad would show him a crop circle or something which led to the underworld, and another scene where they find the pieces of children sewed together in the back of a native Americans car that the cops framed or something.
It sounds fucked up but it's a great book and it's been years and I am unable to find it. I thought I'd take a shot and ask around. I don't believe it's a very famous author. And the cop had took a young girl to prom and killed her. The cop could smell a storm coming. I read this book when I was younger. It's about a woman who is in a relation ship with a singer, but they fell apart because she fell in love with another man.
I know the woman had a small animal. I am pretty sure the Title had the word diva in it, but I'm not completely sure. I read a book when I was younger It's about a woman in a relationship with a singer, but they drifted apart after a while. The woman fell in love with another man, but he left her because she couldn't make up her mind at first over which man to choose in the end she chose the second man. I know she had a little dog.
I'm pretty sure the title had to word diva in it, but i'm not entirely certain. I read a book maybe years ago about an older gentleman whose wife had died and he was just existing. The wife had a beautiful garden that was just overgrown and neglected and I think a college student or grandchild - maybe - came and was trying to get him to reconnect to life.
Seems there was a flood towards the end. I might be mixing books, but would love it if someone could help me remember this book. I read a book series in the early 's called Seven. There were seven books in the series, each titled the name of the main character I believe.
I cannot find a mention of this series anywhere. The characters are all former childhood friends that share a secret and have drifted apart because of it, yet believe their ill-fortune all stems from the secret they each feel responsible for shooting a friend at a birthday party when they were 8, even though it was an accident.
I can't remember what all they go through, but I do remember a few of the books plot points: One girl was an Asian adopted as a baby by a white couple and is assaulted by a friend of her parents, one boy is half-black and paralyzed in an accident, another boy whose parents run a shelter and is a sports star at the high school struggles with being gay, another girl that is a cheerleader tries to hold onto her romance with her boyfriend that went to college but he uses her instead, the other boy is trying not to outdo his brother in football, but ends up playing and stealing his brother's scholarship or maybe just gets a better one.
I would like to get this book series to hold onto for my daughter when she is in high school because it did help me and others I knew that read it get through certain traumas and hardships in school. Trying to find a book where starts of with a young lad on his way to school and on his way be picks up random objects.
These were used then at school. The elastic band to keep some artwork together and the safety pin was used to help pin a girls broken dress strap. I read it when I was at school in the 90s. I read a book about 6 years ago, it was so good. Theres this book i read about 5 years ago and i cant remember the title or anything but it was about this boy who felt like he was being watched by these strange people.
He starts having these dreams of horrid scenes and his best freind whom he has a crush on later finds out they are moments in history like when he had a dream of being on a slave ship. Later on in the story the people who watch him reveal that they along with him have live basically foreverbut in different bodies and by different names.
Well thats all i can remember about it at the moment but ide like to know what its called so i can read it again. I was reading a book i was admitted in a children's hospital back in And when I was there they had a LOT of books to read. There was a particular book I keep rememb but not a lot of details of it.
The book was about a kid who lived in a zoo. He never went to school, I think, and mer this kid that became his friend. She would play games with him and stuff. She tells him about a event of this big ball of knots that no one is able to until.
The Fancy: Cora's Daughters - The Fancy Series
And he comes along to try to untie it. That's all I can remember of it. I'm hoping someone here can help me find the book again. I believe there was a story about this blind person going on a blind date with someone who was not blind, a character had two different eye colors, and another thing I remember are these two characters a guy and a girl who met in a church and there was this electric connection between them. Anything would be helpful, thank you. I partially read this book in college, someone had suggested, but never had the chance to finish it before returning it.
I forgot the title, but I think the title was a double entendre. The book is a story being told by a primate, chimpanzee or ape. The primate is discussing where we are heading as humans, a kind of warning about how we are impacting the environment. I do recall a metaphor where the primate describes a person believing they were flying a pedal powered craft, and the primate said, from the pilot's point of view they may believe they are flying even as we can observe they are falling, and until impact they may maintain their belief; something to that affect.

This may be a short story and it's about two young boys that are twins. The "bad" twin does bad stuff and the "good" twin tries to cover it up or be helpful But in the end there is a twist and you find out it's only one boy. I read this in an English high school class in the late 80's. For some reason I think of Ten Little Indians but not sure if that's part of it. I read a book in when I was a 6th grader about a guy who is struck by lightening and wakes up in a war. The war had Japanese or Vietnamese soldiers I forget which.
I believe the story begins with him in the attic or basement of his house and looking through old war items his father had because he was a veteran. He is struck by lightening when he is riding his bike. I am not sure of anything else but I remember this book being short. I'm looking for a book I read a few years ago when I wasn't quite a young adult. I remember that it had like a pink and green cover, it was a young adult novel. The summary of it is that there were 2 girls who were best friends but the best friend of the main character was getting "too popular" for the main character and they split ways because of that.
She became a bully towards her. Then our main character went to visit her dad at work and met his new assistant and they clicked. He brought her to parties and such without the dad knowing. They had a secret relationship. But then at the end, when it was her school dance, her former best friend was trying to take away her man because she didnt deserve someone so hot. But main character just laughed and her bf asked the former best friend to dance, knowing that former best friend was way to insecure and main character knew that he loved her for her and not because shes hot or unpopular.
It was an illustrated childrens' book in the library of the small private Catholic school I attended til I was 10 and I can still remember the pictures so clearly, and have searched for almost two decades with no luck.

When he returns home, his wife is dead but in her clenched hand are the stone knight's fingers.

Then, when she has the sauce to ask probing questions, her own life is threatened. Will Verity live to taste Death by Chocolate again? Or will the killer make mincemeat of her? Yes, I have a new In Love and War story to announce. The Taste of Home is another tale to come out of the July short story challenge , where the objective was to write a short story per day in July For due to his deprived childhood, Mikhail has food issues, which makes him the ideal protagonist for a space opera story about food.
What is more, Mikhail not only lost his home and his family with the destruction of Jagellowsk, he also lost his entire culture and that includes food. Mikhail can never eat his favourite childhood dishes again, because there is hardly anybody left who knows how to make them. But even though the vast majority of the survivors of Jagellowsk were children under twelve for reasons explained in Evacuation Order , there also were adult survivors, people who were not on Jagellowsk when the planet was destroyed. And wherever you have expat or refugee communities, you have restaurants serving the food of the homeland.
Therefore, it makes sense that at least some of those Jagellowski refugees would have opened a restaurant somewhere in the galaxy, serving the cuisine of a dead world. And so I decided to let Mikhail stumble upon a Jagellowski restaurant on the rim. The people of Jagellowsk are the descendants of Russians who left Earth centuries, if not millennia ago.
This history would of course be reflected in their food traditions. So I thought back on my experiences with Russian cuisine and remembered a memorable dinner at Restaurant Bellevue , a more than one hundred years old Russian restaurant in Helsinki, Finland, which I visited during WorldCon The food served at Restaurant Bellevue is largely based on the cuisine of Czarist Russia and therefore fits the theme of food from a lost world. And so the Restaurant Demirdova in the story is very much based on the real world Restaurant Bellevue in Helsinki, down to the description of the street where it is located.
And yes, the Restaurant Bellevue offers a Russian tea tray very much like the one Mikhail is served. I even took a photo of it at the time. Initially, I had intended to give Mikhail a full meal. What is more, Mikhail would not have a full meal elsewhere, while Anjali was waiting with dinner for him at home.
And so I settled for just letting Mikhail enjoy a pot of Russian tea. Which is doubly poignant, for while tea is not exactly rare in the In Love and War universe — though more common in the Empire than in the Republic — hardly anybody makes or serves tea in the way Mikhail is used to. And since Mikhail was a child when Jagellowsk was destroyed, getting to eat the pastries and sweets of his childhood again would have a special meaning to him.
The letter-shaped bukwi cookies really do have their origin in Russia, by the way, though nowadays they are much more popular in Germany than in their land of origin. They are called Russian bread over here and are very much a childhood staple. And yes, spelling out your name in cookies, as Mikhail does, is very much a thing.
And when the time came to write my story for the day, I thought of the food prompt I had used a few days earlier and started to write a story about Anjali making biryani, while reflecting about her relationship with Mikhail. Of course, a festive meal needs a festive dessert. I even found step by step instructions how to make it , on which the description of Anjali making ras malai is based. It has comparatively little external conflict and is mainly a story about memories, family and food.
This past week, we have been experiencing uncommonly warm and sunny weather for mid October. And so I took the opportunity to drive around and admire the fall colours in the area.
