The two are betrothed by their parents, the rulers of neighboring kingdoms (both made-up places). They are kidnapped and taken to a strange country where their normal powers are gone. Together, they have to defeat the evil tyrant Hevak and save both of their kingdoms. Originally published in 1995, I read this in the late 1990’s too, when it was published as a Point Fantasy paperback. The cover is dark, with a picture of Lenora right-side up in the lower right corner, and Coren upside-down in the upper left corner. There are also a few sequels, called More Minds , Out of Their Minds , and A Meeting of Minds . Pamela Service, Being of Two Minds , 1991, copyright.

This classic book is about Emmy and her beautiful sister Arabelle who move from their small upstate town to New York City near the turn of the century. Arabelle is always too proud and independent to seek any help but when she gets very sick during the cold winter, Emmy is the one who takes charge and gets the aid they both need. In this way, she keeps the promise she made to their aunt back home that she would watch out for Arabelle. The book has wonderful illustrations and captures the sights and sounds of lower Manhattan and its mix of people before modernization. But I don’t remember anything about a “golden walnut.” S623: short stories, medieval times? Book-possibly Scholastic-I believe it had short stories, possibly in medieval times-one was about a boy who had to solve a riddle? One of his solutions to finding something no one else had seen was opening a nut! Read at least 35 years ago? Perhaps a 3-6th grade book?

Arabelle is a sounds professor and falls crazy about handsome watercraft master Andy, the brand new relative of Emmy’s steeped schoolmate Lissa Spenlow

S626: sorceress’s daughter fixes magical tunnel Solved: Black Unicorn S627: Spelling Everything He Wants Solved: Arthur Gets What He Spells 1970s, childrens. This book was about a little boy who was having trouble with his spelling, so his parents challenged him to spell everything he wanted. They bought him everything he spelled. When he spelled something incorrectly, they bought him this wrong item. Finally, as he got better at spelling, the book concluded with him telling his parents he wanted some spaghetti. His mom and dad waited anxiously while he tried to spell this request.
