Could it be the Secrets of Droon series, which starts with The Hidden Stairs and the Magic Carpet?

Thanks! That's the right series :)


If I Stay by Gayle Forman. I love that book!

It was about a sort of Holden Caufieldish girl who felt very misunderstood, didn't like the world, thought everything was phoney. She meets a boy who's like her -- I can't remember if they fall in love or are just friends. The only detail I really remember is that during a time of stress (maybe their parents are yelling at them) they recite a scene from "The Court Jester" to each other. ("The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon.")

THANK YOU!!!!

It was a ya book about a popular girl that secretly has a crush/falls in love with an unpopular boy that everyone thinks is ugly. I think that they get to know each other through an art class.
that's all I remember. Hope someone can help!

mmm...I don't think it was a paranormal...but, I'll check it out. Thanks, Natalie!


I only remember certain vague plot points and it's killing me. I think the guy has authority over the girl for some reason like he's a "good kid" and she's a rebel and they're forced together as some punishment for her. The guy is dating someone else for a lot of the book and I remember towards the end the main characters go and get hot chocolate together. I think also the plot revolves around some kind of winter festival or parade or competition in their town. Please help me!! My memory could be playing tricks on me but if you recognize any of these plots it could be the book, Thank you for any help!

It's not Night Circus it it? Kind of a long shot but I thought I'd throw it out there

I think it took place in Texas. It was about a boy in elementary school or something who had to participate in a talent show held by his school, so he decided to lip sync to a song which went horribly when the song stopped halfway through the song and he was forced to sing it himself. I also remember the book had some really nice descriptions about food (for some reason, I remember cooking raisins). Also, it's a little random but I do remember a scene where it was his turn to wash the dishes but his older sibling (sister, I believe) complained that when he washed the dishes, they ended up being too soapy because he apparently didn't rinse them off enough.
I've been trying to remember the title of this book but I could never find it.
