* The Wolves of Willoughby Chase – Wolves series book 1 – 1962 – Wicked wolves and a grim governess threaten Bonnie and her cousin Sylvia when Bonnie’s parents leave Willoughby Chase for a sea voyage. Left in the care of the cruel Miss Slighcarp, the girls can hardly believe what is happening to their once happy home. The servants are dismissed, the furniture is sold, and Bonnie and Sylvia are sent to a prison-like orphan school. It seems as if the endless hours of drudgery will never cease.

This is a cleverly contrived tale of intrigue and misadventure *Nightbirds on Nantucket (#3) – 1966 – Having had enough of life on board the ship that saved her from a watery grave, Dido Twite wants nothing more than to sail home to England.

On her way back to London aboard the Thrush, Dido and crew are summoned to the aid of the tyrannical queen of New Cumbria.

A rich mixture of legend, fantasy, humour and pure snowballing adventure. *Dangerous Games (#5) – 1998 – *The Cuckoo Tree (#6)– 1971 – When Dido Twite sets foot back on English soil, more mischief awaits. As her friend Captain Hughes recovers from a carriage accident, Dido stays at the Dogkennel Cottages and meets the odd inhabitants of Tegleaze Manor: strange old Lady Tegleaze, her nephew, Tobit, and his wizened, witchy nurse, Sannie. Soon suspicious things happen. A priceless miniature is stolen. Tobit is framed and then kidnapped. A twin sister is found. And when Dido catches a glimpse of her rascally father in Petworth, she is sure she’s in the midst of another Hanoverian plot. Can she get to London to warn the king and save St. Paul’s Cathedral from sliding into the Thames? *Dido and Pa (#7) –1986 – Readers who have followed Dido Twite’s escapades in Black Hearts in Battersea and Nightbirds on Nantucket will welcome her return in another wild adventure. Now back in print, Dido and Pa continues the Wolves Chronicles, the exhilarating and imaginative series that stemmed from Joan Aiken’s classic The Wolves of Willoughby Chase.
Dido Twite is finally back home in London and reunited with her old friend Simon, now the Duke of Battersea and a favorite of King Richard. But no sooner does Dido start to settle in than her rascally father, Abednago, appears and drags her off into the night. Soon Dido finds herself caught up in the midst of another dastardly Hanoverian conspiracy: a plot involving a mysterious double for the king, the miraculous healing powers of music, and a spy network made up of abandoned street children called lollpoops. Meanwhile, out in the forest, starving wolves are closing in on the city . . . * A Whisper in the Night – Thirteen – 1984 – From one of England’s most prolific and distinguished authors comes this collection of 13 spine-tingling tales that blend the commonplace with the bizarre.

DAWN ALDERIDGE
Series author for both teens and woman
* A Song For Mandy – Magic Moments – 1985
* Katie – 1987 – from publisher’s weekly – When Katie’s mother remarries, family relationships get complicated. Katie’s sworn enemy Mitch Ryan is suddenly a cousin by marriage, and her secret crush Doug is her stepsister Cindy’s steady boyfriend. On the advice of her best friend, Katie goes out with another boy, Scott, but he likes her more than she likes him. When Cindy dumps Doug, he asks Katie to help them get back together, and Mitch starts acting interested in her. This book tries unsuccessfully to examine many aspects of family and teen life in the ’80s, from the initial reactions of the stepsisters to each other, to the question of Katie’s playing fast and loose with boys’ feelings. Aldridge covers some standard territory (Doug turns out to be a jerk when he spouts chauvinistic saws about girls just wanting marriage; Scott stereotypes jocks) without contributing anything new.

Cliquey Pizza 3 - 80's teen books & 80's pop culture 
Oh, my gosh. You totally deserve the Bat in Bunk Five Award as well as invitations to Pearl sorority and the Zodiac Club for tracking all this down. Mary Anderson’s Rise and Fall of a Teenage Wacko was something I have been trying to find for a long time. Recent purchases I have tracked down are The Great Lakeside High Experiment (Neil Selden) and The Princess Routine by Tonya Wood. Thanks for your posts!
Thanks! , doesn’t the Princess routine have an amazing cover?! I can’t wait to post it but my W page is way off ( for now. )
[…] now, there is a blog where you can go to revisit some of your favorite ’80′s books with their original […]
I have just wasted too much time looking through this. Found books I remembered, ones I have been trying to find, and ones I totally forgot about.
I love you
Hey, thanks!
Ohh I am desperate… am trying to find (and remember I book I read in the ’80’s about a teenage girl that didn’t know she came from a long line of witches (the good sort) and it was about how she had to learn to develop her skills to fight evil. Along the way she interacts with a mysterious young man who teachers other things along the way. I remember one particular scene where she had to take a bath to ‘meditate’ . Can anyone else remember this??
It’s The Spellkey by Ann Downer, I believe. I loved that book (technically a series, but that one was amazing).
Just like Jenny by Sandy Asher! I LOOVED that book. I took ballet as a kid although I wasn’t great at it I always liked it so this book resonated with me a bit.
Looking for a book but don’t remember the title or author but I think it was young adult. It was about a young couple who got married young. The book starts out with both of them telling her parents about getting married. The girl mentioned something about her sweater. I think the couple were hippies and they were living out in the woods. I don’t think she got pregnant until after the marriage. I remember she went to a class at the hospital and made a friend there. The girl had a baby boy they named feather. It is not the first part last. It was published either in the 1970s or 1980s. I think the couple in the book had problems getting along after she had the baby. If anyone can give me any help, I’d greatly appreciate it!
