Question: Looking for the title of two childrens/teen boooks I read as a child!. !?
1) Its the story of a kidnapping of a child (maybe two)!. I think the kid gets in the car with someone and is taken to a cabin!. It was read to my class in third grade (1990)!.

2) A Christian Young-Adult series about a girl who goes to, or lives on a farm!. I think she may be an orphan and they are her Aunt and Uncle, but I cant remember either!. I read these in the early to mid 90's as well!.

I know, not a lot of detail to go on, but if anything comes to mind!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

2) i believe you may be thinking of "anne of green gables"!. Her parents die in a car accident(i believe) and the girl goes to live with the aunt and uncle!. the uncle doesnt really want her, since they live on a farm and he thinks a boy would be better so he could help with the farm life!.!.!.but it doesnt matter since ann goes there and everyone falls in love with her and are happy it wasnt a boy living with them!?

does this sound right!?


the 1st one seems something like i read but not sure on it!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
