I'm looking for a book I read a long time ago, but I don't remember the title...?

Question

I read this book when I was in third grade, so I remember very little of it, but I have been wanting to find it again. I remember the main characters were a boy and a girl. The story had to do with them having ESP, telekinesis or something of the like. I remember one scene in the book and they were eatting, and and the girl was crunching ice and she said "I'm sorry , I know you hate that sound." But the boy had never told her that. I think somewhere int he book they go looking to find someone, it might have been a biological parent or just someone who could help them.

There is another story I'm looking for, its about a girl from Africa I think. She is in a tribe and someone else in her tribe pretned ot be possessed and accuses her of something (I /think). But I know she ends up running away, getting her period (it was important to the story) and she ends up finding 'civilazation'. Also at the end she finds out her grandma has died. (through psycic intuition, i think!)

Answer 1

I remember reading the first one. I'm sorry, I don't remember exactly the name or title (boy, am I helpful!) but I can narrow it down. It's not Escape to Witch Mountain. In the story you describe, the boy and the girl were in their mothers' wombs when a spaceship landed nearby and because of this they have special powers. There's a scene in it where they are on a Ferris wheel and start to fall, or something.

I have this vague impression that there were a couple of sequels. Other than that, nothing! But maybe my little contribution will help someone else help you.

Answer 2

The first book you're describing sounds like one from a Virginia Hamilton science-fiction trilogy. Justice & Her Brothers (1978), Dustland (1980), and The Gathering (1980). I've only read one of the books...but they are about siblings with unusual supernatural powers like reading minds and time traveling and I think even letting their minds/spirits leave their bodies and wandering...anyway this might be what you're remembering.

In Justice and Her Brothers, the first volume of this trilogy, the four protagonists find that they are inexorably linked through their supersensory powers. In Dustland, the second volume, these precursors of a new race are drawn into the future and make their strange journey into a barren land. In The Gathering they are engaged in battle with an entity known as Mal, who controls the future, but whose immense power has gone awry. One of the world's leading writers for young people brings her compelling saga to its stunning conclusion.

The Cay. that's a gorgeous e book, some boy named Phillip and a guy named Timothy. No cannibalism. it is an uninhabited island. it is approximately Phillip and Timothy getting shipwrecked and having to proceed to exist on that island until eventually they ultimately get rescued. in the suggestions-set of having shipwrecked, Phillip turns into blind. it is written via Theodore Taylor, and it became into written in 1969. by the way, the guy were amassing examine and such for the e book for greater or less 10 years. while he ultimately sat right down to jot down it, he finished it in approximately 3 weeks.
