Answer
Number 8 by Anna Fienberg:
Jackson, a bona fide numbers freak, has never lived outside the city before. But his mother whisked them away to the suburbs after witnessing some after hours "dealing" at the casino she performed in, hoping they could just disappear. Soon, strange phone calls start making his mother nervous, a mysterious car keeps driving by their house, and a crazy driver almost runs him down. His new friend Asim recognizes these threatening tactics from his childhood as an enemy of Sadaam in Iraq. Still, Jackson is hoping to keep the growing danger a secret from his new girlfriend, Esmerelda. Until one night she disappears raising the stakes in a dangerous game where all bets are off.
Prepared to be glued to your seat by this character-driven mystery novel filled with math, gangsters, and a just a touch of OCD.

Firehorse by Diane Lee Wilson:
When fifteen-year-old Rachel is forced to move to Boston in 1872, she is furious. She is also lonely, for her beloved horse, Peaches, has been sold. But Rachel soon finds a horse that needs her, and needs her desperately: The Governor's Girl, a famous firehorse, has been badly burned. Rachel gets permission to care for the Girl in a stable behind her house.
As she cares for the injured horse,Rachel dreams about becoming a veterinarian. But her father, a newspaperman, has very definite ideas about where women belong: only in the home. Father also has definite ideas about Boston's inadequate firefighting equipment, as an outbreak of suspicious fires erupts. To make things worse, horses everywhere begin falling ill -- and it is horses that power the city's fire engines. Another spark might send the whole city up in flames.
With cinematic vividness, Diane Lee Wilson brings the very real Great Boston Fire to life in this exciting and inspiring story of a strong-minded girl determined to decide her own future.

i need help for some gift ideas for my 8 yr old daughter. I am a single mother and so far i found out from a neighbor that his little girl who is 8 still plays with barbies, tea sets and such. can any one please help me with some more ideas?
Answer
Eight year old girls are delightful to buy for!
I am a mom of one and I have 15 Brownie Girl Scouts in my troop, so I know this age well.
What is so nice is that they are still young to enjoy being a kid:
* baby dolls, barbies etc.. are still a hit
* arts & crafts kit (a big box of scissors, paper, markers, glue, glitter, paints, stickers etc...)
* a cd player with some fun kid's music cd's(Hannah Montana, Kids Bop, High School Musical, Cheetah Girls)
* Littlest Pet Shop is huge this year. Cute little animals girls love.
* Roller skates
* Lego's Mosaics
* Coupons for activities are fun (movies, skating,science museum, pottery class, gymnastics etc..)
* A gift certificate to get her hair "upstyled" at a beauty shop. Doesn't cost much but she will feel like a princess!
* Books (American Girl, Junie B, Jones, Amber Brown, Little House books are all popular at this age)
* A Nintendo DS is a good choice of an electronic game for a girl. There are lots of games suited perfectly for her age.
-Harvest Moon
-Hannah Montana
-Winx
-Charlotte's Web
-Over the Hedge
-Dogs, Cats, Horses or Hamster Life
-Strawberry Shortcake
* Girly stuff: hair bows, play makeup, nail polish, a big feather boa
* Games for the PC for her to play (Nancy Drew, Pajama Sam, Barbie, Huntsville or Titanic all all good for this age).
Your 8-year old will love anything that is pink or purple, having to do with animals, making them look pretty, giggling, and having fun- I promise!
Merry Christmas!
