I think I may have found your book! Stars by Eric Walters

After his latest attempt at car theft and the ensuing high-speed chase, Joseph wakes up in intensive care. At the hospital he meets a social worker who has an offer he can’t refuse. Joseph will be going with two social workers and several other young offenders on a wilderness camping trip for STARS (Striving Through Adventure to develop Responsibility and Success). Joseph goes along with it – but only until he can figure out a plan to get away from them and return to the city and his criminal support system.

Joseph heads north with seven other young offenders and the two social workers. While roughing it in the bush and learning survival skills, the young boys also start healing some of the damage that their inner city lives and broken homes has caused. But will Joseph ever be able to lower his guard and learn to trust enough to allow true healing to start?

I made a listopia list for you to look through!

Hope it's on there :]

Here are a few YA series that have been made into tv shows:


Gossip Girl (there's a bit of sex in here - if I had to guess, I'd guess this is the one your friend is looking for?)
Pretty Little Liars
The Lying Game
The Awakening (first book in the Vampire Diaries)
The Initiation (first book in the Secret Circle)
The Carrie Diaries
The Nine Lives of Chloe King

That sounds a lot like I Married a Dead Man. There have been a couple of movie adaptations of it as well.

It's not The Horse and His Boy, is it? It's sort of an obvious answer (so probably not what you're looking for), but it is a YA/children's book with a boy & a talking horse!

Charity Girl?

This series? Banana Splitsville, Rocky Road Trip, Love and Other Things I'm Bad At? ETA: The original title of Banana Splitsville was "Truth or Dairy"

Or anything on this list? https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/7...

Could you have read an illustrated version of Hans Christian Andersen's The Fir Tree? It's a very sad little story about a Christmas tree :[

Anything on this list? https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/7...

And you're sure it's a series? Do you know how many books there might be in the series? Just two, or maybe a lot more?

Never Enough?

Do you remember if this was a series or a standalone book?

It's not Running Out of Time, is it?

Any of the books on this list?

Is it anything on this list? https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/7...

Oh gosh, I don't even remember the keywords I used. I searched on Worldcat though.

Ooh, I think I found it! Undone by Brooke Taylor

I quickly made a list of some "bucket list" type books. Any of these? https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/7...

Do you know about when this book was published?

Does it have any paranormal/fantasy elements? Or is it fairly realistic?

I'm glad I could help! I don't know much about Stardust Classics, but I did recently see a photo of someone's Stardust doll online and it was so cute!
