Kid Book Match

I had fun reading a little of some of the Wild at Heart books and I can
see why you liked Homeless! There are twelve books in the "Wild at
Heart" series by Laurie Halse Anderson and Central Rappahannock Regional
Library has eleven of them for you to check out. If you haven't already
read more in that series, you might enjoy trying one of the others.
Other books I would recommend for animal lovers and high level readers
are:

A Tarantula in My Purse by Jean Craighead George.

Here are some titles you might enjoy. I am going to send this list to
both e-mail addresses that you provided.

The first one is the sequel to Maximum Ride.

School's Out - forever by James Patterson.

Maximum Ride Book 2

After a short stay with an FBI agent who gives them a chance to attend
school and live a normal life, the six genetically-altered, winged
youths head toward Florida and Max's ultimate destiny--to save the
world, whether she wants to or not.

Since you enjoyed Fablehaven by Brandon Mull you may want to look the sequel to that book which is Fablehaven: Rise of the Evening Star by Mull. This book continues the story of Kendra and Seth as they race back to the refuge for mythical and magical creatures in order to protect it from the Society of the Evening Star, an organization trying to infiltrate the preserve and steal a hidden artifact of power.

Some more good books for you are:

I'm so glad you enjoyed the book Parts by Tedd Arnold. While I haven't
read that book, it sounds really funny! I have suggested three other
titles below that I hope you might like. In fact, the first title is
written by the same author, Tedd Arnold. Enjoy!

Even More Parts: Idioms from Head to Toe by Tedd Arnold.
A young boy is worried about what will happen to his body when he hears
such expressions as "I'm tongue-tied," "don't give me any of your lip,"
and "I put my foot in my mouth."

Since you enjoyed Now We Are Six by A.A. Milne, I am including among the list of funny books, some humorous poetry as well. I hope you find some books that you will enjoy.

Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb by Al Perkins. Rhyming text describes what
can be done on a drum with hand, fingers, and thumb.

Cat Is Back At Bat by John Stadler. Fourteen rhymed verses describe
funny animals, for example, "A big pig tries a wig" and "A snake tries
to bake a cake."

I’m so glad you found our Book Match Service and I hope I can make some suggestions that will work for you. There are quite a few series that have cute and sassy girls for the age range you suggest. You may already know some of these, but maybe a new one will come out. All of the titles I am including here are the first title in a series, so if one appeals you may look for more about the same character by the same author. I suggest you try the following:

Thank you for your Book Match request. I did find a few titles which might help with your request for books on Colonial Crafts.

Home Crafts by Bobbie Kalman.
This is a Historic Communities book. It includes Soap making, and Candle making.

Josefina’s Craft Book – The American Girls Collection.
This has a section on making a Straw broom. 

The Heritage Sampler. A Book of Colonial Arts & Crafts by Cheryl G. Hoople.
This includes directions on how to make Tin Can Candles. 

I had a great time finding book matches for The Girlfriend, by R.L. Stine. You said that you liked the horror, suspense, and descriptive writing. Here are some other books that you might enjoy next!

A Ghost In The Family,by Betty Ren Wright.
While visiting his friend Jeannie's eccentric Aunt Rosebud in a boarding house that may be haunted, ten-year-old Chad comes across a mystery involving a missing diamond bracelet.

I'm so glad you are using our Book Match. I agree that the book The Giver was full of surprises and it did not have a pat ending, to say the least! I rather liked the fact that you could interpret the ending differently, depending on your point of view. Meanwhile, since you liked The Giver, here are a few titles you might like.

Locked Inside by Nancy Werlin.
After she is kidnapped from the exclusive boarding school she attends,heiress Marnie Skyedottir must rethink her idealized relationship with her mother, her own sense of who she is, and her relationships with others.

Thanks again for making a Book Match request! I had a good time finding funny books, written like Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

I’m assuming that you read Greg Heffley’s Journal, so you should definitely read the next book, Rodrick Rules, also by Jeff Kinney. In this one, Greg Heffley tells about his summer vacation and his attempts to steer clear of trouble when he returns to middle school and tries to keep his older brother Rodrick from telling everyone about Greg's most humiliating experience of the summer.
