I am looking for a book and don't know the title or author; where is a good website to get help with this?

Question

I am looking for a book I read a long time ago. It's science fiction short stories, (an anthology?) with kids as the central characters. The stories all seemed connected in the sense that they were later on in the same history as the stories before it. There was a story about kids who figured out a way to leap long distances by brain power. There was an archaeological dig that discovered information from near our time. There was a kid who learned how to make longer leaps, to other planets. There may have been a child stuck on a planet with heavy gravity and communicating with a bush. One planet had sound or colors as life forms. At the end, two very evolved people from this time line observed two children from a distant galaxy that were in a time very much like out own.

Anyway, do you know of a site where they help you find titles and authors? Do you know the title or author of this book? It would have been published in the 1980's or before.

thanks

Answer 1

You might have a better chance by going to the local library and tell them the same thing. A good librarian can tell you right off what book it is.

Answer 2

Have you tried the Library of Congress.

Database of records representing the holdings of the library, including books, computer files, manuscripts, cartographic materials, music, sound recordings, and yes even old sci-fi novelettes or novels

Answer 3

This is the old-fashioned way, but it may work the best: call or visit your local library, and ask the librarian in the kids section.

Librarians are a fantastic resource! :-))

Good luck!
