Trying to find this Novel

Would love to read this without paying an arm and a leg. These apps are so expensive I wish they would bring ads back to unlock the chapters.

Can anyone help me find this book?

I vaguely remember reading this book while I was still in school ( round age 13).From what I can remember the story follows a boy in his late teens becoming homeless and finding his way around the homeless life, but there’s a killer going around targeting the homeless and that’s all I can remember. I know that’s a very vague description but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks x

[TOMT] interactive children’s book (early 2000’s)

My sister and I have been trying to remember the name of a book our mom read to us as kids (about 25 years ago, so early 2000’s) for YEARS now.

It was about a dog who I’m pretty sure was named Poppy, and Poppy was a puppy who was running all over the place (under/over a log, through the mud, etc) and had to go home for a bath. The book had a toy that was attached to a string where you would pull it across the pages to “jump over the log” and follow along with the book. The toy would vibrate and shake and go back to its original place.

The dog was a light brown colour with white spots around the eyes. Shaped like a fuzzy little potato. The pages of the book had a hole cutout so the dog could interact with each page and was protected by a clear plastic shell on cover of the book.

I vaguely recall there being something about a fence that was potentially broken and the cover page having the typical children’s book style of artwork with grass and a river, but I could be remembering these two things wrong.

It would mean a lot to my sister and I if someone could help us find the book. I’ve googled so many terms and phrases trying to find it but nothing close is showing up at all.

Help please!

Help me find this book! I've been searching for over 10 years.

I'm looking for a book I read around 2014–2016, but I believe it was published sometime in the 2000s. I got it from a Scholastic Book Fair, and it was definitely a middle-grade/young YA historical fiction novel—not an adult romance.

I've searched for this book for over 10 years, and no one has been able to identify it. Here is everything I remember:

Cover

\- The cover had a single large peach or pink flower (possibly a dahlia or chrysanthemum) that took up almost the entire cover.

\- I don't remember the flower having anything to do with the story, so it may have just been the cover design.

\- I think it was an illustrated cover rather than a photograph.

Setting

\- Set in the American West, probably in the late 1800s or early 1900s.

\- Small frontier/western town.

Main Characters

\- A teenage girl (I vaguely remember her name being something unusual, maybe Sunny, Franny, or something similar).

\- Her younger brother, who I believe was around 16 years old.

Beginning of the Book

\- The siblings are escaping an abusive relative and heading west to start a new life.

\- They don't seem to have a specific destination—they're just looking for a fresh start.

\- They travel by train.

\- During the trip, a man offers to help them and promises supplies if they give him their money.

\- Instead, he steals all of their money and disappears.

The Western Town

\- After arriving, the girl goes to the sheriff's office for help.

\- I specifically remember there being men in a back room playing poker or cards when she arrives.

\- She asks to speak with the sheriff.

\- The sheriff is young, kind, and eventually develops feelings for her.

Living Situation

\- The sheriff helps them get settled.

\- The girl ends up staying with an older woman (I think she called her Mrs. or Miss something).

\- The woman cooks for a living or runs some kind of boarding house, hotel, café, or restaurant.

\- The girl helps her cook and work in the kitchen.

The Brother

\- The brother gets a dangerous job involving carrying mail.

\- It may have been horseback mail, a stagecoach mail route, or something similar.

\- I remember it being dangerous because of cliffs and mountain trails.

Romance

\- The sheriff is the first love interest.

\- Later, another young man becomes the real love interest.

\- I believe he also worked on the dangerous mail route (possibly driving a stagecoach or carrying mail).

\- In the end, she chooses him instead of the sheriff.

Other Scenes I Remember

\- There is a community dance somewhere in the story.

\- Before leaving on a mail trip, the main love interest leaves his large dog with the girl to care for.

\- He eventually returns safely at the end of the book.

Other Details

\- The book had light Christian themes, such as praying, but wasn't heavily focused on religion.

\- It was about 200–300 pages long.

\- I'm almost certain it was a standalone novel, not part of a series.

I've searched for years and have ruled out many popular historical fiction books. I'm hoping someone who read it through a Scholastic Book Fair or worked in a school library recognizes it.

Even if only one or two details sound familiar, I'd love to hear your suggestions!

Needing help locating a book tittle.

When i was younger I had a book that I can not remember the name of but I do remember certain details. Im hoping maybe someone might be able to help me.

Book details:

Sci fi

Woman wakes up in a room finds out slowly its on a spaceship.

There's a voice that speaks to her and asks her tons of questions. Eventually shes allowed to leave the room with an alien named fang who has one fang as the other was broken at somepoint.

She also at somepoint because romantically involved with a creature that has a tail that is used in the act.

It wasn't an erotic book as far as im remembering but it did have one or two sexual scenes.

What book is this?

The only part of the title I could catch was “Death in Ves” but it didn’t seem to be “investigation,” as they were separate. I snapped this pic but couldn’t get the name! Any help appreciated

German (I think) book - 1856

Hi! This is another book I inherited and have no idea what it is. Pretty sure it’s German. It’s from 1854. When I looked it up in Google Translate it said something about pastoral care? Anyway, any help on identifying what exactly this is would be helpful.

Looking for a children’s picture book about a giant man who lived on the river

Picture book I read as a child around 2001–2008. Main character is a huge man that’s like 30-40 feet tall, wears a plaid shirt, has dark hair but no beard, kinda lanky, lives alone in a giant house near a river, travels by boat, helps harvest potatoes, and each story is about him helping neighbors. One story involves him putting out a house fire. I think he lived in a huge giant house as well.

Edit: it was vivid, oil canvas type paintings as the pictures in the book, and my mom believes it was called “big Jim” but I can’t find anything about it online.

[TOMT] [CHILDREN'S BOOK] [LATE 2000S - EARLY 2010S (?)]

i have no idea when this book would have been published but i had it in the late 2000s to early 2010s, when i was little. the book was your typical girly fairy book BUT every now and then there would be this fairy grandmother/older woman who would talk directly to the reader as if they were being brought into fairyland, and i believe she would take the reader to a fairy party and describe what was happening there. she would also tell stories, and these stories would make up the majority of the book i believe. the cover of the book was pink, and i remember the book having lots of illustrations. however unfortunately, that's all i can remember about it. i know this is such a long shot, but if anyone knows what im talking about, please let me know! 💕
