sisko66002 I once read this sci-fi book about some people in a society where people worshipped "Ford". Love was forbidden and peole were judged based upon the classification that their "group" was given. Everyone below a certain level wasn't even allowed to learn to read and were conditioned to hate books. I think I read that book. If you find it tell me.

I posted before but I think you may have missed it... I think this book is Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. In the book they refer to Ford as "Our Ford" and condition the lower groups to hate things like flowers and books by shocking them when they are children for going near them. I'm pretty sure this is what you're looking for.

It was a book about this young girl...
She was living in the past, in the early time of colonizing America, I believe, with her family.
But it turns out, her whole life is a fake.
Her house is actually part of a museum, where all the mirrors in the house are cameras, relaying footage back to the viewers.
She escapes, with the help of her mother (who knew all along), and she ends up sleeping in a bathroom stall somewhere, once she gets out. And that's as far as we got.
My teacher read this to my class when I was in 5th Grade TAG English, so it's problably a pretty low reading level, but I've always wondered all these seven years what happend to the girl...
Problably not healthy. xd

I remember reading this book. It had something to do with having a northern birth placement and the father of the family made compass roses. The girl is taken away from the house by a bear to live in a castle all alone...She weaves clothing, plays music and such to pass the time...All I remember after that is that the girl messes up somehow and this evil woman gets to keep the polar bear (who is really a boy) forever. O_o If you could help me find this book again I would much apreciate it.

I read a book when I was in eighth grade, I can't remember what it's called, but it was about a girl who had ESP and her parents had just gotten divorced. I'm afraid I can't remember much else, but I think the main character's name was Nancy, but I can't remember.
