Thank you to all that answered the stone cutter stumper: Demi and Mc Dermott are
the two most likely authors about the stonecutter. Thankyou again.

Thanks to all who answered both my questions about a paperback exchange
and Orson Scott Card. What a lot of Card fans! The most cited were
Ender's Game and the Homebound books. I can't wait to read Ender's game!

Thanks so much to all of you who responded to my feminist princess question. The
book in question is indeed part of the Enchanted Forest quartet by Patricia
Wrede. Thanks also to those of you who provided such wonderful suggestions for
further reading in the same vein. Both myself and my patron are indebted!

Thank you to all who knew that the book about the girl who travels back to
the time of the cavemen is Tuesday the Twelfth of October by Norma Fox Mazer.
Unfortunately our library does not own a copy :(
Thanks to all

Subject: Stumper
This story involves a girl who has a mean (not wicked!) mother and sister;
either the gir's name or her sister's name is Rose. There's no fairy
godmother, but a magic woman gives the girl magic eggs which, when thrown
over the shoulder, make gold, horses, carriages, etc. appear. There is no
prince in the story. At the end, the girl goes to live by herself in the
city (she did live in the country). The illustrations show that the story
takes place a long time ago because the women wear long dresses.

Hi, I have a patron who remembers checking out a book in the last three
years here at Seattle Public Library which was essentially a biography of
a doll from sometime in the 1800's up to mid twentieth century. It began
with an attack by Indians on settlers in the n.e. part of America. At one
point, she ends up in a chest on a whaling ship. She spends time under
couch cushions & also spends time in an antique store. So you will make
us here at SPL very happy if you can remember the name &/or author of this
book. Thanks for your collective wisdom.

Subject: books/vids about "empathy"
Today a counselor/social worker called me. She is assigned to a child
(4th grade) who has been arrested for shoplifting. She wants to do
bibliotherapy of a sort (or videotherapy), focusing on materials (esp.
fiction) which exhort the Golden Rule. She wishes for this boy to feel
empathy for others, in the hope that this will prevent him from committing
crimes. She seemed vague and way broad in her needs, and I'm not really
sure how to proceed; is there an "A to Zoo" for chapter books? Too bad
fiction isn't catalogued for convenient searching. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Nicholas
