Dear PUBYAC Brain,
Does this story sound familiar to anyone? I recall a similar
story of young animals in the woods. It is The Brave Ones by
Tony Kerins. TIA for any help you can give!

We have a customer who is looking for a story she used to read
to her children in the late seventies/early eighties. It was in
an anthology of children's stories.
She thinks the title is "Rumble in the Jungle" and it is about
three little boys (American) who go into the "jungle", but are
frightened by the noises and run home.
Does this sound familiar to anyone in Children's. If you not,
can someone put it out on a children's literature/reading
listserv to see if anyone "out there" can identify it for us.
Thanks.
Elaine Mathews

I'm so sorry- I forgot to post the original stumper. Here it is:
"...three little girls who pretended they were witches- black cauldron-
unusual names, one of which began with an "E". It is indeed E.L.
Konigsburg's Jennifer, Hecate, MacBeth, William McKinley, and Me, Elizabeth.

So true! Wasn't the last one a disappoinment???
Ours are all in adult services, too, by the way.

<<We don't have "Anne of Green Gables: the Continuing Story" but
if we did =
we'd undoubtedly put it in the adult section since that's where the first =
two videos have been housed. I have seen it and would agree that it is =
definitely a departure from "Anne of Green Gables" and "Anne of
Avonlea" =
which were
what I'd term "feel-good" videos.>>

I know this might be a long stretch, but I have my
fingers crossed that someone will recognize my
personal stumper. Back sometime in the late 80s,
early 90s, I read a science fiction book for kids that
involved a bunch of friends all born on the same day
in the same hospital. They were teenagers by this
point, but were really somehow aliens put into human
bodies but didn't know this and were freaking out at
the fact they were turning into something that looked
like a snake or dreaming about being snakes or drawing
pictures of snakes, like I said I don't really
remember. I think they had the choice to remain with
their human side and reject their alieness also, but
am not sure. Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm calling on the "Great Brain" again. I have a patron who is
looking for
a book she read to her son about 20 yrs. ago. Three boys who live in or by a
lighthouse find a message in a bottle and one or more of them gain a penpal.
I told her if anyone could figure it out, you guys could! Pat Jones

The unanimous opinion is that this book is "The Lion's Paw" by Robb
White.
It seems to have been a childhood favorite for many people. Unfortunately,
it's out of print, but we'll get a copy through ILL for our patron. Thanks
to everyone who solved the stumper.
