Tween Novel I cannot remember the name of

[misskayrose97]

So there was this book I read back in 6th grade. The main character’s name I think was either Amalie or Amelie. The story goes is that her dad gets really sick and his friends step in to take over and care for him. They help the young girl get through it and become more of her friends than the kids at school.

The book cover was blue and it showed legs, like you were looking at a group of people.

looking for a kids' horror anthology

I first read this book when I was in middle or high school, so it probably would have come out in the '80s or '90s (my money's on the '90's). One of the stories I remember involved evil statues that come to life, possibly because they were struck by lightning? And another story in the book involved a bus stop/bus, iirc. I think it would have been along the same vein as R.L. Stine and was aimed at middle-grade readers.

Lost book

[poobwain]

I need help finding a book where this kid goes into this world behind his backyard and in that world there’s a Snow White but she’s fat and the dwarves are like grumpy because they have to take care of her.Also there’s this wizard who traps the protagonist in a jar or something and the wizard is eating bugs, I think the book was called the original or something of the sort.But it’s really been bugging me that I can’t remember the name of the book or author.
