A girl goes to theater camp (singing involved) and there’s a ghost. She tries to solve the mystery of the ghost, and she does well in the performance.

There are two cousins who look alike. One is cast as the lead in “The Sound of Music” or something but can’t perform for some reason, and the other cousin can’t remember or learn lines (learning disability?) but steps in with an earpiece and her cousin saying lines in her ear?

1. Read in the 90s but I think maybe the book was older -- it was set in Toronto and was a ghost/two time period setting where the modern characters were trying to figure out what had happened in the past. And a crucial point (identifying a particular house) has to do with realizing that the gingerbreading on the brickwork has been changed in the intervening decades. Literally all I remember, except that maybe it had a pink cover and there were twins?

2. Also read in the 90s, main character is a teen girl called Robin Goodfellow (goes by Puck) and she's on a spaceship going back to her parents after screwing up at school. She finds something science magical, there's a cat, and in the end she gets to be a pilot. The cover had a lovely abstract design. I could swear it was called Cat's Cradle but google only has Vonnegut for that.

I had a childhood book that I could not remember that was very similar to #1. After looking around, I think it might be A Stitch in Time by Penelope Lively?

Looked that up and while I don’t think it’s the book I remember, it definitely looks like I would enjoy it so that’s still a win. Thank you!

The Ghost in the Third Row by Bruce Coville?

We all read so many books about ghosts back in the day 😂

I have one, too!
It’s a girl who somehow creates a robot that looks exactly like her. She makes the robot live her life, going to school for her, being part of her family, while she hires out somewhere else. At some point she realizes she’s misses her life. Anyone remember or can figure out that one?
