The Vine: Find That Book Fest I

Submitted by on September 28, 2007 – 11:16 AM8 Comments

There was a children’s book I loved as a kid. It was the story of a brother and sister who were transported to an alternate reality to rescue their grandparents. Their grandparents had fallen through the reflection of the moon on water while sailing their catamaran on the ocean. There was a talking ladybug who went on obsessively about aphids and an evil queen who made the girl wash dirty dishes with her bare hands.

I grew up in the eighties and I can’t for the life of me remember this book’s name. Could you ask your readers if anyone recalls the name or if it’s still in print?

If only I could get my hands on some VHS of Misfits of Science and this book, my ’80s nostalgia would be complete

Dear Don’t Forget Your Debbie Gibson Cassette,

It doesn’t sound familiar to me but let’s see what the readers have to say.
