THREE?! I've got Starcatchers and Shadow Thieves, but I was unaware a third book had been published. Thanks for the news. :cool:

Curses, foiled again. Good luck.

It's been a long while, and I don't remember anything about sayings in a foreign language with translations, but this sounds like "A Wrinkle In Time" by Madeleine L'Engle. There were also one or two more books with the same characters, which I have never read.

Analog's "Children of the Future" 1982 edited by Stanley Schmidt ISBN: 0385277784 Publisher: Doubleday Girl with Silver Eyes 1988 Authors: Wild and Willo Davis-Roberts ISBN: 0590427105 Publisher: Scholastic

In childhood I did not pick up on certain details of the story, perhaps they will go over your daughter's head as well. But I read it again a few years ago as an adult, and was surprised by the content. There is an unpleasantly graphic description of the Captain ripping a man's throat out with...

Not really. And if you are thinking of the Shirley Temple movie, almost not at all.

"1632" by Eric Flint. A small town in West Virginia at the end of the twentieth century is transported to Europe in 1632. This is a stand-alone story, but it sold so well there is now a series. 1633 and 1634 have been published.

Should we start another thread for this? "Johnny Got His Gun" by Dalton Trumbo.

I've heard a rumor of a script in preparation (since 1999) in which Dorothy is a few years older and the Wicked Witch of the West arrives in New York City, looking for revenge. If it's ever done I hope it will not be the standard horror film. I've seen plenty of those already.

Back in the mid-1960s one of my elementary school teachers told us about that and named some titles. A few months ago in the childrens' section at Barnes and Noble I saw several of them on the shelves, still in print. :cool:

I am attempting to finish Eragon, but it's a struggle. The writing style is not to my taste.

I liked It and The Stand. I've only read a few of his other books and I wonder why he has such a reputation. Most of them are dull and pointless. Cujo was particularly boring.

"The Manitou" by Graham Masterson People being turned inside out - eeewww! I started to worry the ghost was going to come after ME.

The "Happy Hollisters" series The Velveteen Rabbit Have Space Suit, Will Travel Podkayne of Mars Simple Spigott and some others already mentioned on this thread

I'll be watching for this. Thank you.

Patricia Wynant "Peewee" Reisfield, "Have Space Suit, Will Travel" by Robert Heinlein. Of course, that was many years ago, I'm much older now, I got over her a LONG time ago. :Peewee looks up from her cup of coffee and smirks. "No, you didn't.":

I'm going to guess "A Far Off Place" by Laurens van der Post, published 1978. Your description bears a resemblance to the Disney movie. I've never read the book itself.
