You forgot Showdown and Finding You by Charlotte ST. John the author of the Red Hair books.
Thanks! I’ll definitely add.
This hasn’t anything to do with your alphabetical list, but I figured your most recent post was the best place for it. I’ve been remembering this book I read when i was in hospital at about 8 years old, so around 1994. It was about a rebellious girl named Amy who was always “in hot water” — that expression is used several times in the book (and I think on the back cover blurb), and I remember it because it was the first time I’d ever read “in hot water” as meaning “in trouble”. I’m pretty sure she lived with her mother and stepfather, and I THINK the book’s premise was that she was in danger of being sent to juvie or some such place. Other details I recall are Amy’s class learning about the seven continents of the world, and the cover having a vibrantly coloured border and a picture of a girl, presumably Amy, with frizzy/curly hair and a “tough-looking” outfit (either a denim or leather jacket). I cannot for the life of me remember the title or author, but I’m sure it was from the late ’80s or early ’90s. Any chance your encyclopedic knowledge of YA novels has this one filed away somewhere?
I’ll look around!
What a great list! I’m looking for a book I read as a kid. It was about a girl whose family moved and she found dolls in a toy shop that each represented a member of her family. Spoiler alert – there was one of her uncle who everyone thought was dead but he wasn’t. In fact, I think he was the shopkeeper, maybe. Oh, and the kid she played with on the street was actually a ghost. Someone has to know what this book was. Please help! It’s driving me crazy.
