READ BEFORE POSTING:

SUBJECT LINE: Please include genre AND a clue

i.e. YA Ghost story
SciFI Boy lost in space

Things like 'Help' or 'Find this book' or anything including 'search' are not helpful, and should be avoided.

Book's intended audience
Anything you remember about the title, author, cover or size of book.

Members will read the posts they might have information on and post their suggestions. There's a very good chance that one of us will find your book for you. And in the process of discussing it, you might also find out about other books that might interest you. BTW, we'd also love to hear whether or not we've found the right book.
