Hey all, I'm trying to find a book I read some time ago, following a boy who was found by a city guard captain, chained in a hidden compartment at the back of a cargo boat. The boy showed extraordinary abilities, much like those of a vampire, with similar weaknesses. He was entered into training as an assassin, but was later removed from his position due to failing a test, after being sabotaged by his rival apprentice. I can't for the life of me remember anyone's names from the story, but I remember the boy it follows, being told to flay a girl as punishment for her crimes, he fights a prince on a rooftop, whom he was supposed to assassinate.
A book about a girl who finds a talisman in the beginning of the book while at the beach. She stayed for a bit to clean the house up and get it ready for winter. She gets into an argument with her aunt. She had both parents and a younger brother. She was close to her grandmother who died around Halloween. She was upset that her parents allowed her younger brother to go trick or treating. The protagonist also had an aunt and cousin that she could not get along with.
The cousin went to France and came back making dresses. The cousin fell in love with a boy and decides to return. The protagonist celebrated a birthday and redecorated her room. Her dad came home with a gift. When she opened it she saw that it was a cat clock whose eyes glowed in the dark. She was upset with the gift and told her dad that she was trying to get rid of childish things. She had a guy friend who became her boyfriend. She broke up with him. At the end of the book she returns to the beach and finds the talisman in her sweater.
She had forgotten about it in that year. So I'm trying to remember this series that has to do with a teenage girl who is i think a servant girl at a small inn. One day she discovers that she has magic and somehow comes into possession of a dragon egg. But magic has been banned by the powers that be and dragons are thought to be gone. So she is forced to leave the inn before she brings trouble to the owner. However when she leaves this goofy boy probably about ten years old decides to go with her.
They eventually find a group that is against the evil sorcerers who rule the land that help train her magic. She is also hunted by the evil sorcerers who want to recruit and use her magic for their own purposes. I think that the title of each book has something to do with a season or time of year. At one point sometime after the dragon is hatched she is sent off to another world to attend a sort of dragon day care for several years. This world has separate time and the dragon returns fully grown shortly after she had left. I also remember that the boy find a really weird looking stick and boasts about it a lot.
Later in the series it turns out to be a relic of powerful magic accessible through dancing. I read this series about 10 years ago. I read this book back in the late nineties or maybe a little after, although it may have come out several years before that. The camp is actually run by a satanic organization that switches the bodys of their members with the bodys of the kids then the members previous body die with he teen still in it.
They have one of the members get close to the main character to get her to have sex because it won't work if she's a virgin. He can't get her to but doesn't tell the organization, causing the switch to fail. I believe he also had his wife sharing her body with another woman and when they changed places their appearance changed, and one is with a woman that has strong telepathic powers and escaped them, working in a diner.
A couple other things I remember, the members can own or be owned by other people, with a strong obsession with pleasing the owner beyond anything else forced on them. And members can increase someone's attraction to them something the boy used on both the main character and the councilor. I have been trying to remember the book and it's driving me crazy, someone help? I am trying to find a book. Cannot remember the title or author, but I checked it out of the Newport News, VA public library when I was 11 or 12 years old almost 40 years ago All I can remember is that its protagonists were a brother and sister.
And the sister had silver hair - that was a big deal. And they traveled to another world and had a big adventure and then came back to the "real world. Good luck with this one! I'm looking for a scary story I read as a kid. I can only remembering the most oblique facts about the plot, but here goes: The boy goes to look for her but is terrified of the moonlight streaming in through the window.
There's a scene about the Moon laughing, or something like that. There's also a scene in which the Moon's rays are compared to a knife, and a description of blood. Yes, I know how vague all those comments are. It terrified me when I was little--it had something of the feel of an evil fairy tale, if that makes any sense.
It is not Patricia Windsor's "Moon Kill," though that is similar. Have been looking for this book for years and its driving me crazy. The girl picks one up and it comes back to life. Then she is chased by a man with a pet bird which has white feathers on its brest. Can't find it anywhere, someone please tell me if they've read it, thanks! This is set sometime after some apocalyptic event. A teenaged girl is being pursued by a man she thinks raised her after her parents were killed in a car crash.
She wandered into the forest, found his cabin, and hid under the table. Now he's pursuing her into the forest, but she skills he taught her, including throwing knives. She has a blade she throws at him, which makes him enraged. In the backstory, there's mention of a small, ragged town nearby. This is quite recent, I think, perhaps Alright so i've been mulling this over all morning have had no luck finding it. The only way they can pass on is by confronting their death. If they don't they will experience it over and over until they turn into monsters that eat the souls trying to pass on.
Its not the everlost series Thank you in advance! All I remember about this book is that it was a mystery-type story centered around a group of kids I think they're related. They're staying at someone's house, maybe an older relative? The kids keep seeing these colored animals running through the house i.
I think they sleep on waterbeds. Other things that happen: This is driving me nuts! Probably read it about 10 years ago. Leave a comment Share Link. The first book I'm looking for I read in the mid-seventies I think. It was set on an island in Northern NY state. A teenager I think it was a girl, but can't remember went to stay at house her family owned on this island. There may have been something about her parents having trouble of some sort.
Her grandparents went, also. There was something 'off' or 'mysterious' about the island. The next book was about a little boy during the holocaust era. All I can remember is this little boy was alone and I think traveling around woods and fields and villages in Germany or Poland or someplace like that. Okay, so I can remember when I was younger - about 8-ish year ago, we had this book competition with my Primary School. Anyway,I'd won a prize and it was this absolutely amazing book, that I'm having trouble remembering the title, and I don't have the actual book after lending it to a friend for it never to return again.
As I have said, it was Primary school, so it must have been a children's book or a teen fiction book. It was about the future in London, England, where the country has become fishermen because the city is halfway underwater. The protagonist is a young girl about ish maybe? So this girl, she sets off on this boat adventure, just her and her cat, I can't remember the reason for this, but I think it had something to do with a grandmother, or the grandmother is a main influence on the girl. I think the cover had the face of Big Ben on it as a background centrepiece, but only the actual clock part of it, and it had the effect of it being submerged in water.
I'm not percent sure on this, but it does seem to stick in my mind something about this sort of design, so I'm hoping it's for this book. I can't, unfortunately, remember much else about the book,but it is driving me 'round the bend trying to find it. Thank you, and I hope this was enough to go by! The book is recounting of her friends early acting career. Her friend eventually became a renowned actress.

- THE VAMPYRE CATCHERS (THE GREAT SWARM OF 1925).

Her mother is typical Asian tiger parent. Her sisters is in a sorority and nags her to become just like her. The protagonist want to be a producer or director. Her friend is naturally dark ash blonde. She wore headgear and elementary school and was picked on. The only reason the protagonist even approached her is because her mom made her. Later on said mother insists she distance herself from her Later she gets in argument with her mother which she does not apologize.
What was that book?
Shortly after her mothers dies in a hit and run accident. The mother of said friend is parasitic stage mom. She gets so bad her daughter emancipates herself. Her friend first major role is a t. Her friend later has an interest a teen actor who is in the closet. The narrator falls for a guy who is later revealed to be a pedophile.
I am trying to find a poem, but I can't remember any memorable lines that are helpful in a search. Basically, the poem says that if a friend or neighbor were to ride by as you were out hard at work in the fields, and calls out to you, you would not just call back a hello and keep working. You would stop what you're doing, stick your hoe in the ground, and go out to the wall for a chat regardless of how many acres of work remain.
So, i read a book about 3 or 4 years ago. In the story there was this girl who was going to become a priest, but before she became one some guy stopped here. He told her that her father and brother were killed during an ambush. He than said that she would have to become the leader of their clan. She travelled back with the guy to her land. This story is about clans. All clans have a stone, if this stone gets removed from the ground the clan loses.
This book has 3 parts. The girl is developing during the story and at during the 2nd book she defeats the people who killed her father. She was sleeping with a guy who she get a son with. She married some other guy. She has some sort of spy who defends her and gets information for her. She eventually goes to the capital for something, but than the king dies. The heir is some girl and the main person tries to stop others from taking power.
She lets her son marry the queen, but they are too young to rule, so the main person becomes the Regent-Queen. After she defeated her rivals, she moves over to their place and lives there. I read a series of kids books while I was in elementary school for class and we never finished the series. I remember it was about a group of teens and one them just moved in and finds hidden passage ways underneath his house.
He learns it's linked to pirates and it they lead to treasure if navigated corrected. I want to say that captain kid was the person behind the treasure being hidden. Another random detail is the kid with the passage ways under his house is crazy attentive to time because his dad is never late and when he says he will be home, he is always home at that time. I can't remember how many book store were in the series but I know it was more than four. Okay, so I have been trying to figure out the name of this book that I read years ago as a kid.
It's a horror book, has many different stories in the book itself. One that I can remember is about this girl who was on vacation at her parents beach house, and the guy next door told her he couldn't leave his room because the nails on his window are for protection. She gets them off, they start hanging out, later on it's revealed that the nails were to keep evil in and the guy was a demon. They were together romantically, and if I'm remembering right, she became pregnant.
I cannot remember what the other stories in the book were about. It was a book about some mysterious disappearances and two young lovers. One of them eventually goes missing. I think it was the boy, but I forget exactly. I think the missing lover died, but whichever one went missing was taken by ghosts.
The lover was buried alive if I remember correctly. The ghosts were of abused boys at an academy for boys who were very bad. They had been whipped and would say numbers of lashings. They would say something like "25, ! Possessed by Kate Cann Ok so i remember there being a girl as the main character and somehow she ends up living in a guesthouse or the cottage for employees or something, on the grounds of an old historical mansion that had historical and magical i belive items inside on display and the house had tours that they set up, and the girl ends up becoming the maid or groundskeeper or something of that nature.
She meets this group of other teenagers about her age also i believe its summertime could be wrong thoygh and theres a boy and two girls if i remember correctly. And they are obsessed with the house and each other, and i think one of the girls names was maria and she was dating the boy or they had broken up but still hung out.
So they end up stealing one of the things from the house and its the gloves that are embroidered with flowers but they somehow look like grotesque faces. I think the house also had a terribkle history. And somehow these items were magical or were conduits or something of that nature, the main character also meets another boy, and hes part of some fire dancers or performers or something, and they hate the house and there is the whole prophecy about it and the girl and a being they call the green lady of something like that.
This has been killing me for days, if anyone knows anything i would be extremely grateful. I think this is all one book but I may be mashing some together. The story started with a girl possibly teen and her family on a coastal village. I'm thinking they were like vikings. The father sails with Daughter to a trading fair, in my mind it's on an island but it could be another coastal town. She is kind of a trouble maker, gets into fights.
She may have stolen a dagger from a table after a fight. I believe the dagger is very important to the story. I think she has magic? There's a fighting ring or a horse ring, not sure why I'm mixing those possibilities into the same scene I think the girl is fearless, climbs bluffs, jumps off ledges, makes her dad mad. And of course there is a boy the dad doesn't approve of.
Does anyone know the name of a book that begins with a mother selling her daughter to a circus for their freak show? I think it took place in the 30's or 40's, but I'm not sure. It has illustrations inside with tissue protective covering over each one. Gibbins titled Industry in England in very good condition. Curious if anyone knows if any value as the book is really in incredible condition for its age aside from some penciled in notes from an obvious past student. Steve, Thanks for your comment.
