There was this book I read years ago when I was in grade 7, it was a book I found in my teachers personal library she made for us out of books she brought from home.

It was about a family of four moving into a new house and the son quickly began to forget things about himself, from the fact that he was left-handed to the fact that he liked video games.

The older sister was very obviously concerned and told her parents, but they said that he was always like that. Her friends started to forget her brother's name, and one day her parents forgot about the brother entirely, telling the sister that she was an only child.

The brother went missing and soon after that, they forgot that the girl was their daughter, even calling the cops on her as an intruder. She managed to remind them of their family by shoving past them and grabbing a family photo and shoving it in their faces, screaming about being their daughter. The parents were confused but eventually remembered and waved off the officer who came to the door.

The brother was found in the basement, slowly being absorbed into a white mass on the wall. The whole family managed to drag him out, and things went back to normal. Until one of the neighbors called the sister by the wrong name. That's where the book ended.

I can't remember the name of it, but for some reason I woke up with the memory at the forefront of my mind. But I remember being disturbed and intrigued by it, unable to put it down when I had free time.

Mind you, all of the books my teacher brought in were intriguing to me, seeing as I ended up stealing one of the other books at the end of the year because I didn't want to give it back before I finished it. I still have it 9 years later, it was Dualed by Elsie Chapman.

Hey this is my first post on tumblr but I need some help finding a book. I’ve looked everywhere and I can’t find It, and I unfortunately do not remember the name of it.

I’ll try and add as much information about it as I can remember.

I read this book when I was in 5th-6th grade, it had an abstract kind of cover that was full of golds and reds, and the main character was a young girl who could talk to animals through her mind (a kind of telepathy).

It took place in an apocalyptic type world, and the girl lived on a rocky island (I believe), and the society was a bit devolved technologically and politically. This took place on Earth, and the reason for this devolution was due to a virus from Europe (specifically England). This virus was caused by the King of England creating a shadow like monster that was sealed in his daughter’s necklace. It was created to protect her I, but it killed everyone else who did not have her DNA or anyone she ordered it to kill.

The shadow got loose and it ended up killing everyone who didn’t have her DNA, which was most of the world, fortunately it couldn’t cross over water and it only inhabited places without light. Nevertheless most of civilization was dead and the people who were alive had to flee to islands and other lands, and the time in which the book took place was way after the shadow broke loose.

The main character (the girl) had very bad anger issues, and after she apparently messed up one time when defending the island by misfiring the arrow she was setting up (which the people used to defend themselves), she was put with a kind of therapist? What I remember about how the arrow worked was that it was much like a crossbow, and they put (tied?) a sock around the arrow to then set it on fire (fire arrows). Anyway though, later in the story she tries to leave the island, and I can’t remember if it was someone else or her but someone was put into an arranged marriage and during the marriage instead of kissing they (the people who were marrying) both ate a (human?) heart. Anyways though the main character and the other girl and guy (all involved are kids btw) who were getting married escaped onto a boat after the marriage and fled the island to the mainland.

My memory gets choppy from here (even though it’s already choppy), but the boy finds out he has the royal families DNA and the shadows don’t attack him. The kids find a tribe(?) of some kind and it gets attacked by a pack of wolves I believe, where the main character stands on a tree and attempts to persuade the wolves into leaving. That doesn’t work so she screams in her head (remember telepathic powers) and the wolves end up leaving.

Also the kids find the castle the princess (the daughter to the king who created the shadows) living in the castle even though she should be long dead (it’s a few hundred years after the shadows were let loose?) but she was able to survive because of the shadows I think. Anyway the castle is in ruins the princess looks like she’s about to turn into dust and she has the mentality of a little girl still.

The kids later steal a boat and leave the mainland for somewhere else I can’t remember, the princess is traveling with them, and they bring this man who was from a barbarous type place overseas and they steal a ship from his kin to get across the ocean. They make it across to the man’s home country and they find out that the man was actually cast out for some reason, after the kids try and use him as leverage to get something from the king of the barbarous kingdom. The king throws an axe at the man and kills him on the spot, and the king tells his guards to attack the kids. The princess lets the shadows go and it kills everybody (Also I think the girl who was engaged died along the way somehow, but the boy and the main character are still alive.)

Also the main character had a salamander and lived in a cave when she was still on the island.

Anyway that’s all I can remember, hope this reaches somebody who knows wth I’m talking about 🙏

Does anyone know where I can find some books with queer platonic relationships? Preferably main plot aswell

Does anyone know this book?

From what I can remember, it's a dystopian society where upon reaching a certain age, you go to get a tattoo with a number from one to 9 or 10 on the back of your neck. Usually, they're pretty decorative and tell everyone about what place you have life, the lower the number, the worse off you'll have it.

The main character is a young boy who was hoping to at least get a middle number, something like his father's. He and a friend went at the same time, and when it was his turn, he got a solid black 0 on the back of his neck.

I know he was rescued from the place before they could kill him, and there was a removal of a tracker of some sort. I also know he got his tattoo changed to either a 2 or 3, and there was a lady who wanted to give him a place to stay in a riverside inn but couldn't because he was just a little lower than the minimum. He was on a journey to figure out why the people who assigned the numbers gave him a 0 and then get revenge for the attempted murder of himself.

I know he made a new friend, a giant/half giant? I believe? Who came from a place that didn't have the number system, at least I don't recall if it did.

There was a cliffhanger at the end that I'm sure was leading up to the opening for another book, but I lost it before I could find out if there was a series.

I swear I didn't dream this up, but nobody I've told about it has any memory of it.

Man, I just remembered a book at read back when I was 16, I found it in my mother's collection, but I can't remember the damn name or author.

It was an older book where a girl is sold at a young age to a rich family by her mother. I remember her mother used tiger balm for headaches. And as she grows up, she falls in love with the houses heir who (of course) is engaged to someone else who he married later because family demands it! ect.

The main character then becomes the mistress, and naturally, both she and the other woman get pregnant at the same time. The main character has to give birth in like a shack? She has a son while the wife has a daughter, but her son is switched out after she passes out. Devastated, she runs out to go tell her lover that it was she who gave him a son, not the other woman! and she does, but then she dies by a pond or river? In his arms.
