Book Title Help!!! Help Me, Please!!!

I used to love "Really Rosie" as a kid. I read the book first. Nickelodeon showed the “movie” all the time when I growing. I never saw the musical. But “Belieeeeve Meee”, I think I would have loved it. Gosh, if my age is not showing, I don’t know what is.

I remember when I took up reading as a hobby. After doing a stint (a grading period LoL) in “Chapter 1” (remedial reading resource) in the 1^st grade all because the teacher couldn't read my hand writing (Back in the good ol' days when it was thought that messy handwriting indicated...), I decide I didn't like people thinking I was stupid. A feeling that I have never shook. I threw myself into reading.

I wish I had made a list of All the books & stories I read as a child. I remember quite a few Plots but for the life of me don't remember the Titles. *sigh* Child OutSpoken_Diva didn’t know the importance of making lists like Adult OutSpoken_Diva does now. I have looked and looked at “Classic Children’s stories list. Came up with the same stuff mostly. But all is not a frustrated lost. I need you guys help. Maybe you guys read what I read what I read as child. Maybe you guys might remember the titles of what I read. Maybe might jog your memory. LoL

1.     A very disruptive elementary class gets a shock when their teacher is not in class and they get a stern substitute that makes them change their behavior. The teacher comes back and the class is forever well behaved. At the end, a mask resembling the face of the substitute is hanging in the teacher’s closet.

2.    A soccer player wants to improve her game. At home her parents are more concerned about the birth of her new sibling. She then gets some mysterious help in form of a note in a hallowed out egg. This goes on for weeks until the girl improves. She finds out it was her soccer coach all along.

3.     A boy refuses to sell chocolate for the school. His defiance trickles down to the other students. It also ticks off the school & the “secret" school gang.

4.    Girl decides to run away. Takes her little brother because he has money. They end up in a museum. The museum buys a statue that may not be real. So they go find the lady who sold it to the museum and they learn great things from her.

Though my hand writing is still not legible as many, my aptitude for reading is good. Reading has saved my life many time. Every time simple words don’t come to me in a conversation, I know that means turn the TV and Internet off and let the books pour into me. Thank you guys in Advance for your help!!! This should be fun.

Oh wait!!! Are there any plots (child, tween, teen, adult) of books that maybe I can help with? Leave them in the comments below.
