    Fantasy or SF book with hieroglyphic puzzle wall?

    Hmmm. That one looks interesting, but definitely isn't it. I'm pretty sure there aren't parents involved in this one...

    Teenager blamed for killing his deaf and/or mute sister

    OK, fussed at it enough tonight I finally found it. Not sure why I couldn't get it to come up anywhere with the name Matt, but happened to try Matthew and scored. Author is Frances Miller. Books are: The Truth Trap, Aren't You The One Who...?, Losers and Winners, and Cutting Loose. From the...

    Teenager blamed for killing his deaf and/or mute sister

    I found this once before on my own, but now I'm coming up with nothing. And it's not in my saved lists of books. This was a book that turned into a series... not a formal, numbered one, but it definitely had sequels. Three or four books. Teenage boy and his sister ended up with the boy...

    Fantasy or SF book with hieroglyphic puzzle wall?

    bump - still looking, no new info, really...

    Three of them.

    The first one sounds vaguely familiar, but no solid ideas. No clue on the second or the third... but am curious what that third one might be. As for your last question, check out paperbackswap.com. Best book trade site I've found.

    Blast from my past...

    I think I found yours on Bookstumpers, too. (www.loganberrybooks.com) Would it be The Secret of the Unicorn Queen? (looks like there may be various authors... Josepha Sherman, Gwen Hansen, Suzanne Weyn, Dory Perlman)

    Children's series about witches

    Maybe Ruth Chew's What the Witch Left or No Such Thing As A Witch? (found suggestion via Bookstumpers @ www.loganberrybooks.com)

    What is the title/writer of this book/story?

    It sounds vaguely familiar... but no more clue then that. Any idea what year, whether it actually was SF or just sounds like it? (And a laugh, too. That's one I bet it's impossible to search for.)

    Hikers/climbers end up in bigfoot cave?

    Hmm. It's not on the page you gave me, Occlith... but I'm stashing the page for future reference. Some of those sound interesting. (The fiction, anyways. I'm in the NW, and most non-fic Bigfoot starts to sound alike after a bit.) The Monsters book by Frank Peretti is a maybe. I'm fairly certain...

    Fantasy or SF book with hieroglyphic puzzle wall?

    OK, this is one of those vague memories... a book with one scene where the female heroine has to figure out a puzzle wall in a cave. I believe it had sliding pieces. They (I think a male? Possibly injured? Or two people?) may have traveled through that passage to a abandoned city where there...

    Hikers/climbers end up in bigfoot cave?

    Okay... that pretty much sums up what I remember. Some hikers/climbers/campers are out for the day or weekend, and either get lost or injured. Two men, I think, and I think one falls down a slope. The other tries to get down to him, but before he gets there, a bigfoot/sasquatch hauls the injured...

    Help, please.

    Looking on the Bookstumpers website... a couple more possibilities. Stolz, Mary - Cat in the Mirror Time Travelling Cat and the Egyptian Goddess (didn't say author)

    Solved - Fiction set prior to San Francisco earthquake/fire (1906)

    Bonus points to dragondrool!!! You not only found my ghost girl/pond book, but a quick search on that Bookstumpers website (which I found via the Amazon reviewer on the other book), and I found this book too!!! That Bookstumpers site sure doesn't want to come up on google searches for places...

    Help, please.

    Might check the books listed on this page. These all mention a cat. Pawprints in Time Khufu the Wonder Cat The Curse of the Cat Mummy This is a popular homeschooling topic- there may be other lists like this out there...

    Does anyone have the March-April Bookmarks?

    It isn't this, is it? (similar title... but...) Extraordinary Confessions from Ordinary Lives

    Ghost girl and pond?

    Oh, my. I think you did. From Amazon's description, I was thinking not... but I went and read a link that a reviewer posted http://www.loganberrybooks.com/solved-g.html and now I'm 99% sure it is. One thing is odd, though... I didn't remember the "love in the owl's eyes" part... though now it...

    Ghost girl and pond?

    No, it wasn't a picture book, though that one sure does look interesting. It was a chapter book, probably in the 150-200 page range. The cover was similar to the Helen book... that "bordered" style... probably either Avon Camelot or Apple Books or something of the sort that one of the...

    Ghost girl and pond?

    I read this book in the early to mid-80's... so it was published no later then 1988 or so. I'm absolutely certain that my edition was from Scholastic, though whether that was the only printing or an additional printing, I do not know. I remember something about a girl who moved into a...

    Please Help Me! Book about Kids with jewels/stones...

    Oh how cool! I'm glad that site helped! It's a pretty neat site. I've seen these... but I don't think I've ever brought any home as an adult. We're always collecting Goosebumps books... these seem like they might be similar... (I need another series to look for like I need a lump on my...

    Please Help Me! Book about Kids with jewels/stones...

    And I just figured out what the other series was that I was thinking of... It's Jane Lindskold's Through Wolf's Eyes series. The oldest two of Melina's children are named Jet and Sapphire.
