I cannot remember the name of the book nor the author and this is basically my last resort, ive been trying to find it on and off since middle school and have been unsuccessful.
a kid is out with his parents (either at a dig site with his dad or at a picnic with him) and stumbles upon an arrowhead leftover from a war. the kid touches it and pricks his finger on it while also absorbing a sliver of the arrowhead and gains the power to absorb powers from other people (I can't remember if he has to kill them or not), he ends up falling in love with a snake demon lady? but she never reciprocates. and her dad was also the one the war was about. at the end of the book the evil guy goes back in time and changes history and that's how the book ends.

I am trying to recall a very surreal portal fantasy book I read about 10-15 years ago. I believe it was a children's or young adult book. I don't recall much about it other than the state of Delaware was a fabrication by a sinister power, and possibly also that dinosaurs lived there. The cover of the book was green and yellow, and had a pulpy feel to the aesthetic. I know it's a long shot based on what I recall, but if anyone can help me, that would be great! Thanks.

edit: I'm pretty sure the protagonists were two boys and a girl, if that helps at all.

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! 💗🧚🏼‍♀️

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 :)
