(2.)I read a book when I was in first or second grade and I have not found it since. It's about a boy who threw his shoes at the moon, and I thought that was close to the title, but neither Amazon nor Google book searches came up with anything.
They boy's uncle was a great violinist. He played so beautifully that once soldiers in a war stopped fighting on both sides to listen to him. The boy wanted to learn how to play like that, so he asked someone how he could become such a musician. He was told he needed to throw his old shoes at the moon. The boy's mother kept all of the families outgrown shoes, in case another child was born, and the boy took these and threw them at the moon. The moon was angry at being battered by shoes, and put a sort of curse on the boy.
Later, a baby sister was born, and the moon's curse manifested itself in her. She grew older, but she never spoke a word. And, she always went about barefoot, because there were no shoes for her.
Spoiler for the ending: I don't remember much about the ending except that something happened where the boy needed to play music, and the sister ended up talking, and he became a great musician.

(3.)I remember reading a fiction book set in medeival times. It was about the making of a great Tapestry--one of the famous ones, though I can't remember which. The main character was a woman who set out to help make the tapestry. It's a very quiet book about her journey & about the time spent making the tapestry. The only scene I remember is her getting up early so as to sew part of the tapestry (I think the sea) that she really wanted to stitch; it was in the section the queen was working on. The queen found out, but understood.

(4.) In second grade, I read a book about a mouse. All that I really remember was that he had a grasshopper for a friend and he lived (or slept, I'm not quite sure) in a matchbox. I think it was called "The Matchbox Mouse" or something, but I already googled that and found nothing.
I never quite finished it, but I remember being to intent so complete it before the year ended. Obviously, I never did.

(5.)I read a book in sixth grade and it's a historical realistic fiction.
The main character is a girl and lives on this really religious island and her grandma is super mean and doesn't think she's as good as her sister who has blonde hair. the title has something to do with faith or something like that and it says one of the sister's names but I'm not sure which.
!!Spoiler!! There's this boy in it and in the end he goes to the army. In the end the girl moves off the island and becomes a nurse in a small town. She helps give birth to these two twins and one of the babies is like her. The other sister marries the boy who goes to the army.
I know, pathetic, but could you help me please?

(9.)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.

(10.)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.

(12.)There was a book I read in sixth grade that I can't remember the name of. It was about a boy who I think ran away, but maybe not, but he was living in the wilderness by himself. I feel that he made a hollow tree his shelter and he made friends with a wolf. (That last part could be from a different book.) Basically, it was this survival story for this young boy who ran away and lived in the woods. I remember enjoying it, but can't think too much of it.

(13.)I'm trying to remember the title of a children's book. I think it is really pretty well known. It had a few stories in it, and the one I can remember was about this person (I actually think it was an animal), who was making tear tea or tear soup or some such thing. The drink was made out of tears, so he had to sit and think of sad things until he cried enough to fill up the cup / pot / bowl.

(18.)I read this book a looooong time ago, so the details are rough and may not be right.
I believe it's about a girl and her family (set back when people used horses and buggies to get around) who own a horse or horses. They move to a cabin far from their home because of something. ( I'm so sorry, I can't remember!)
Her brother, or somebody related to her gets bitten by a rattlesnake and I think they have to have a doctor come to help him.
I remember reading about a horse.. her horse, getting out during a storm or something and then getting stuck in... gah, what was it?! Any who, the horse is suffering so it had to be put down by her father. She's terribly sad.

(19.)I have another book, I know more about this one because it was really good!
It's about this girl who died on the fourth of July because her younger brother(or sister.. can't remember) had lit a firecracker and she tried to get it away from him before it exploded.
She became a ghost in the house, her family moved because they couldn't handle the tragedy of losing their daughter. Another family moves in and they have a daughter who took the girls old room. The ghost gets very mad and messes up the living girls stuff whenever she can.
One day the girl and her friend try to talk to the ghost through something like a board I think, and she finally can talk.
After a while, they locate the dead girls sister (or brother, again, can't remember) who is now fifty or older.

(21.) There was a book I had when I was younger that I never gave a chance. This is extraordinarily vague, because I'm not even sure just what it was about, but it's been bugging me for the longest time.
The book was aimed at younger readers, and was (I think) about a girl who enjoys art, and loves drawing animals. Now, either the pictures she drew or some kind of statues came to life at night. I also think she just moved into an old, creepy house.
I want to say the animals that were mentioned were a lioness and a bear.
Sorry for the terrible description, but it's all I can remember.
