Looking for title
I read this long ago. It might have been in Readers Digest Condensed books. Or maybe not. It was about 3 children on vacation with their parents. Their parents disappeared and they overheard plans to put them in foster care. They decided to run away and make their way home by themselves avoiding the authorities. Along the way they collected pets, I belive a dog, a goose and a donkey. I simply can't find the title. Does it sound familiar to anyone?

Moved to the thread where these types of questions belong.

Not a book but a long story. It deals with a man who goes back in Earth's past (to the dinosaur age) and meets up with two young kids (young teens) who have run away from home or been kidnapped(on Mars). It has a nice twist ending too. I can't recall the name of the story though.

A book that may have been a readers Digest book from 40 years ago.
It was about 3 children on vacation with their parents. Something happened and their parents went missing. They overheard the childrens protective people talking about putting them into foster care. They decided to run away and make their own way home avoiding the authorities. On the way they picked up 3 pets. A dog, a goose and I think a donkey. When they got home their parents were waiting. |

For a friend: Perhaps 15 years ago, fantasy, whole world falls asleep and upon awakening everyone has a magic power or transformation. Some inherently Good, others Evil, and not related to whether the person with the power was a good person. Any ideas?

Interesting. Sounded like Flash Forward for a bit there, but no one got super powers.

Hmmm. Thanks for the bump. The gal who posited the question used to own an SF bookstore in Chicago .... and is about to go (or has just gone?) back into partnership on another SF bookstore. Soooo this may be a rather obscure title, if *she* can't remember the name of it!

K. Feel free to re-post the question for me, if you have accounts there.

I just saw this on Facebook and could swear I've read a book with that very plot but I can't think of the name of it to save my life. The details may be slightly altered, like the six finger bit and the scar on each cheek, but the plot sure sounds familiar.
