Yes, it's definitely The Dark Is Rising - so, so good. The rest of the books in the series are pretty fab as well - taught me everything I know about Arthurian legend.

I know exactly what you're talking about. We always called them "turtles," but I'm pretty sure that wasn't the brand name. I'll try my hardest to remember anything else.

Also, only chumps sat on them and wobbled the bars to move. Putting one knee on the seat and pushing with your other foot was the way to go.

AHA! Turns out I was closer than I thought! The Original Flying Turtle!

u/DingoMcPhee · 3 pointsr/tipofmytongue

The Adventures of the Black Hand Gang, that's it! I've been looking for thirty years and Reddit solved it in five minutes! Thanks!

u/Skanktus · 2 pointsr/tipofmytongue

Solved!

YES! THIS WAS IT!

The cover was this variation that I remembered.

Thank you!

u/Axist · 0 pointsr/tipofmytongue

It's not! But thanks for the help anyway. Turns out it's 'Josie and Jack' Haha, it's called Josie and Jack! http://www.amazon.com/Josie-Jack-Novel-Kelly-Braffet/dp/0618441433 :)

If you liked that you might really enjoy Chris Ware's Building Stories.

It's a box set graphic novel, all different format books, all telling stories inside an apartment building over time. You can read the books and many of the panels in any order.

Hidden Talents by David Lubar?

>An eighth grader discovers five schoolmates with psychic powers in this amateurish effort from Lubar. Martin, who was expelled from every other junior high in six counties for mouthing off, is consigned to prison-like Edgeview Alternative School, along with other violent or nerdy teens deemed hopeless misfits. While trying to avoid both the ready fists of hulking bully Lester Bloodbath and the shock therapy meted out by Principal Davis, he meets Torehy, who can start fires without matches or lighters, Cheater Woo, whose test answers are always identical to someone else's, and several others with odd, unconscious talents. Interspersing Martin's tediously self-analytical narrative with fiat attempts at humor, trite student essays, repetitive memos to faculty, and mawkish letters from home, Lugar draws the tale to a paradoxical climax in which the self-styled "psi five" scuttle Bloodbath's plot to close the school down, but then do their best to earn releases. After realizing that he is psychic, able to read people's deepest fears and hopes, Martin abruptly acquires a sense of responsibility and resolves never to abuse his talent. Padded with aimless subplots and earnest efforts to drum up sympathy for the one-dimensional cast's brutal bullies and ineffectual teachers, this contrived story is a weak alternative to Stephanie Tolan's Welcome to the Ark (1996) or Willo Davis Roberts's The Girl with the Silver Eyes (1980). (Kirkus Reviews, May 1, 1999)

Sounds like S by Doug Dorst. JJ Abrams is involved somehow too.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/0316201642/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_Ko.ttb1709JJ3

(Edit) P.S. If it didn't have the box, the book looks like an old library book called "Ship of Theseus" by VM Straka

u/ChrisH117 · 2 pointsr/tipofmytongue

I search for this book for ages and I cant find, I turn to you guys in hopes of finally finding it and what do you know, amazon recommends it to me. Here it is if anyone is curious http://www.amazon.com/National-Geographic-Picture-Atlas-Universe/dp/079222731X/ref=pd_sim_sbs_b_36

u/piglicker101 · 4 pointsr/tipofmytongue

Dude. This book? It took me a little while to find it, but my elementary school had this one and it was awesome. It had a picture of some alien on Venus chowing down on the Viking lander.

u/andybodies · 2 pointsr/tipofmytongue

From what I remember, it doesn't quite fit, but "mama do you love me?" https://www.amazon.com/Mama-Do-You-Love-Me/dp/0811821315

u/standinthesun · 2 pointsr/tipofmytongue

Ok so I might be really off, but I read a book about gnomes and I think it had something about confusing cats in it. It’s called “gnomes” by Wil Huygen and it more of a book about gnomes in general. It’s a Really large book with great detail. gnomes by Wil Huygen

Let me know if this helps!

u/shadmere · 1 pointr/tipofmytongue

I figured it out. It's Memories, by Mike McQuay. Thanks for the help!

http://www.amazon.com/Memories-Mike-McQuay/dp/0553258885/

u/uint16_t · 1 pointr/tipofmytongue

Pretty sure you are looking for Gnomes. I have a copy from at least 25 years ago. The copy I have is in English, but I'm sure it was translated to many languages. It's not really a children's book, at least not for American standards, as it has some adult subject matter.

How I survived being a girl!

https://www.amazon.com/How-I-Survived-Being-Girl/dp/0060540737

The cover is different than the one that I own, but I remember this scene! They had to pay 50 cents for the talent show.

(Edit: Here's the cover I own https://img.fantasticfiction.com/images/n13/n69949.jpg )

u/viperised · 3 pointsr/tipofmytongue

Is it "As You Wish" by Jackson Pearce? https://www.amazon.co.uk/As-You-Wish-Jackson-Pearce/dp/0061661546 I must say this was an interesting dive into a genre I never want to hear about again!

u/ArshesNei8 · 1 pointr/tipofmytongue

I'm pretty sure it's Anne Murray teddy bear song and inch worm song

​

https://www.amazon.com/Theres-Hippo-Tub-Anne-Murray/dp/B00006L66O

The album is called "There's a hippo in my tub"

u/wordslickster · 1 pointr/tipofmytongue

Could be Can You See What I See? It was kind of a knock off I Spy, but it might be it. I enjoyed it when I was a kid.

u/poloxamer · 2 pointsr/tipofmytongue

Castle Perilous by John DeChancie. Great series of books!

u/DaveIsMyBrother · 1 pointr/tipofmytongue

Could it be The Dark is Rising, by Susan Cooper? There are five books in the series, all of them are excellent.

u/wildneonsins · 1 pointr/tipofmytongue

if this is the comp you mean https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hits-Album-Soft-Rock/dp/B07TMRRN8X it' only matches Total Eclipse of the Heart and It's all coming back to me now and apparently was only released this year.

u/WithnailsCoat · 1 pointr/tipofmytongue

Apparently its available to watch on Up Faith and Family (that sounds so wrong!) via amazon. $2.49 per month subscription for 3 months.

u/cococococola · 1 pointr/tipofmytongue

Maybe Building Stories by Chris Ware? It's really cool and comes in a big box with a ton of little pieces with the comics all over them. Like a map, a pamphlet. Not really a proper book.

u/Dozvix11 · 3 pointsr/tipofmytongue

Was it Gnomes by Wil Huygen and Rien Poortvliet?

u/jaisies · 2 pointsr/tipofmytongue

Could it be “S.” by Doug Dorst and J. J. Abrams?

Edit: found it on Amazon as “Ship of Theseus”.

u/schizocat · 1 pointr/tipofmytongue

zincake is correct, Gnomes. I still have a copy on my bookshelf along with a bunch of other mythology, folklore, and fable books.

u/rubikscubefreak · 4 pointsr/tipofmytongue

Fuck! I know this one. Some of the kids' nicknames were Torch, Trash...Let me think about this/google.

Edit: Another kid was named Twitch...

Edit 2: It came out when I was either in 6th, 7th, or 8th grade, which would have been anywhere between 1999 and 2002

Edit 3: Found it! Hidden Talents by David Lubar. There's an excerpt on his website. Turns out there was a sequel!
