[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Librarians are great!  While we're on the subject -- this is really far out there but here are a few from me:

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.[/quote]

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?[/quote]
