Love Terry Pratchett. A friend of a friend has all the books and I know I could borrow them whenever I feel like asking for them. I just never know if I can have enough time for them. :}

Foxes are clever, perceptive, and shrewd. You're happiest working behind the scenes, pulling strings and watching others dance to your imperceptible tune. Independent yet highly social, you glide among your circles of acquaintance with ease, sharing your sharp wit or a delicious piece of gossip.

Hello! I Hope everyone had a great Halloween.

I have updated the found books list as well as added links to the resources Saloiq has found for us.

I have never read any books by Terry Pratchett either, but I might give it a try if they are worth it ^^. Are his books a series, or stand-alone? In other words, which book would I start with?

i believe its various series all set in the same world.
like the wee free men is a series of three books and I'm pretty sure they're set in disc world.

@Dream-Baby - Man, 15 years?! I'm so glad you found your book. :D


On Terry Pratchett:
My favorite Terry Pratchett book is Going Postal. <3 And the books with Captain Vimes are always fun. :B

@Nin
Start with Going Postal! XD And then its sequel, Making Money. Men At Arms is a nice Capt. Vimes book, and Small Gods and Thief of Time are nice stand-alone book (still set in Discworld though).

The Wee Free Men arc is chronological, more so than the Night Watch books, so if you want some order, you can start with The Wee Free Men and go in a nice line all the way to I Shall Wear Midnight. C: I think this arc is aimed at a younger audience than the rest of his books though - like a younger young adult? xD

I read this book in middle school-

A group of kids with troubled home lives meet / know each other from their neighborhood - two of the kids are siblings / live in the same house ( maybe twins can't be sure ). I think there were four kids - one girl, two boys ( related ), and one other boy ( I think younger and a different race ) but I cannot be sure.

Anyway they all gather one day and are sitting under this big tree with their backs to it and they either fall asleep and have a joint dream / experience or are transported to another world ( that has more problems than theirs ).

They would wake / return from this world all still under the tree - although time would pass while they were gone it wasn't the same amount.

They kept meeting back at the tree and returning to the other world(s).

I believe it was a trilogy and they were all fairly sizable books in the young adult section. In knife it's not the Seven Sleepers Series but along the same guidelines.

If you can remember / find it that would be amazing - I've been searching for over 10 years!

Thanks so much for your help!

Sorry, I haven't read this series! :< Could I post your question on /r/tipofmytongue?

If you borrowed it from your library, maybe try searching "trilogy" in the library catalog?
Any guess for when it was published?
Do you remember any words from the title?
Do you remember anything about the publisher? (For example, if it had a penguin symbol, it might be published by Penguin Books)

Not a problem - can't know every book out there ; )

I'm fine with you posting this elsewhere- doesn't bother me any.

Published would be 80's or 90's I think - don't know more than that - its been at least 15 years since I read it.

I have a dim recollection of the dustjacket of one book having a large backlit tree faded out over sunset like browns and yellows and oranges - but this could also be my imagination painting pictures from the book.

I'm sorry I don't know more

Would it happen to be Search for Senna/The Everworld series?

If not, good luck in your search!
