Andria’s comments from the What's the Name of That Book??? group.

You're welcome!

You are welcome! What's funny is that I've never read this book - but I spent so much time in the YA section of my library growing up in the late 70s-80s that loads of titles lodged in my memory just from seeing them on the shelves so often. As soon as I read your post this title jumped into my head. I'm weird that way. :)

You're welcome! Happy to help. :)

Geek Love, maybe?

Hmmm, possibly Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson? I don't recall details but it's got Scotland and a shipwreck. Maybe a ransom?

War Games by Audrey Couloumbis. It's middle-grade, our library has copies in Children's and in YA.

Yay! Glad I could help. :)

You're welcome!

RL Stine has one called Beach House

Edit: I've moved this thread to UNSOLVED, so more people will see it and make suggestions, in case I'm getting my 90's horror mixed up.

Sounds like one of Christopher Pike's books, I think Remember Me might be it.

The Boy Who Could Make Himself Disappear

Could it have been a YA book? Because it kind of sounds like Sweethearts by Sara Zarr.

Not many frontier/pioneer stories are what one would call lighthearted...The Devil's Paintbox is from a male perspective but is pretty grim.

Could it be an older book? I Tell a Lie Every So Often has more humor than hardship.

In other words, it's the same size as a paperback, but with a hard and shiny cover. I personally can not stand them.

Sometimes "library binding" refers to a hardback with reinforced binding, as well.

Yay! Congrats on finding it. Would you consider scanning the cover and adding it to the GR record? Since there doesn't seem to be a picture of the cover anywhere else on the internet, it would be cool if we had one. :)

Nothing to apologize for! You don't have to check our shelves before you post a query. I'm happy I could help. :)

Maybe Corsets and Crinolines?

Feliks, any guess as to when this may have been published?

You're welcome!

I'm always fascinated by the random things people remember and misremember about their lost books. If you look on this group's shelf of things requested more than once, sometimes two people will remember such different details, that you'd never guess they were describing the same book!

The cover isn't an exact match to your description, but maybe The Prodigal Troll?
