Hullo All.

I woke up this morning puzzled by a notion I'd had of a comic I saw on the scans-daily community ages ago. Only thing is I can't recall the title or the characters' names. I was wondering if anyone might know of it and could help me out?

Please help — I’m looking for a hardback children’s illustrated book. I don’t believe there were any words. It followed a day in the life of a baby raccoon and his/her mother, and I think it included a trip to the seaside. I think a lot of the colors were in a blue spectrum, and the art was realistic (I mean, for raccoons wearing clothes that is).

My search game is pretty bad because I mostly pull up The Kissing Hand (which is great, but not the book I’m looking for). I say it was about 2008 because I saw it in a bookstore at the same time as “The New Bear at School” which was published in 2008, and I got the feeling they were both being featured as new books.

The story reminds me a lot of how much my mom loved me as a kid and how she showed that, so I’m looking for it now that she’s getting elderly because I want her to know how much I love her. I believe it’s out of print.

Thank you.

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a childrens book about fairies, it was NOT a novel, it was an informational book where the author was acting as a fairy from another realm, and there was lots of information on types of fairies, such as water, garden and the tooth fairy, and fairy houses and legends about changelings. There was also some “fairy recipes” which were basically just normal cupcake and milkshake recipes. I also remember that there were lift-up flaps that looked like flower petals, and in a pocket of the back cover there was a large pair of paper wings which you were meant to thread string through and wear. This book was given to me sometime between 2008 and 2012. I think the front cover was pink but i cant remember. I understand that no one here has probably read it but if anyone could help me find it that would be great! 💗🧚🏼‍♀️

My friend and I both remember reading this around middle school. There were necromancers (we think) and alchemists and at some point a girl cracks a pitcher over the head of the villian. The cover was really full of details and had a crow on a skull, maybe some scrolls

My sister swears she remembers me reading a book when I was late elementary school age, around 2001-2004ish, and she thought it was a Harry Potter book. But none of the Harry Potter book covers match her memory of the cover art of this particular book. I have vague memory of what she’s describing, a green hand that comes out from the bottom of the picture and you don’t really see any other part of the body the hand comes from. I don’t remember what the plot might be, but it would be a book written for children. Anyone have any idea?

Okay, I'm on the verge of concluding that I somehow made up this book, but here goes:

Star Wars novel, set after the original trilogy of movies
Luke Skywalker as a main character
A significant portion of the story took place on some sort of desert/desolate world
The identifying feature is that the world was home to these creepy sub-cutaneous parasites. The bigger they were, the more they could influence the host. I think there was a scene were Luke discovered that someone had basically been entirely taken over by the parasites and was pretty much just a puppet
Also, once you're on the planet and outside of a sealed room they're pretty much impossible to avoid picking up, so even Luke winds up with a whole bunch of them
I think eventually he managed to purge them out using the Force?

Anyhow, I have no details about the plot, or what other characters were in the story or anything. Pretty sure it was written prior to 2004, but looking through Wookiepedia's list of novels yields nothing that matches what I remember.

Help me, findthatbook, you're my only hope!

ETA: Ha, never mind--I post this and then five minutes later figured out that it's Planet of Twilight by Barbara Hambly. So nice to know it's not just some weird nightmare I dreamed up on my own.

Don't remember much but it was about a girl who was a spy/secret agent and she had recently moved to a new neighbourhood maybe?

One thing I remember in particular was her mum was a widower, and she recently started started seeing this guy that the main character didn't like, and one time they were in the car together and he played Stevie Wonder's 'Isn't She Lovely', and she thought it was the dude trying to be romantic with her mother but it turns out the guy was her Dad, and he was playing the song for her. He had faked his death to keep his family safe because he was also a spy/secret agent (I think).

Other than that, my memory is pretty spotty. I think she carried out like one main mission during the book, she was trying to solve a mystery of some sort. There was no magic, so it's not a fantasy book, but she did have gadgets. It may have also been part of a series, I think I was wanting to read the sequel but never got around to it.

Read while I was still in school I think, 7 to 12 years ago, but I found it in the school library and I don't have access to that database unfortunately :/

Any tips would be great! Thanks for reading :)
