Possibly the Look-Alikes books by Joan Steiner?

"Come along! Jump aboard! Grab hold of my hand. / We're crossing the border into Look-Alike Land." So invites the opening lines of Joan Steiner's Look-Alikes, a three-dimensional miniature metropolis that's meticulously, ingeniously crafted out of everyday objects from mousetraps to milk bones. At first glance, a fancy hotel lobby seems just that, but take a closer look and you'll see a sofa made of gloves. In a sunny street scene, a building façade is laden with crackers, crayons form fence posts, and the tree is shaded by a stalk of broccoli. Children and adults alike will love poring over each picture, most of which contain more than 100 objects cleverly arranged to delight and deceive. Kids will easily identify many household objects, and the ones they may not recognize--a hosiery garter or flour sifter, for example--they'll learn from either the guide in the back or from a helpful parent."

"Joan Steiner's "Look-Alikes" is endlessly interesting for kids and adults alike. This self-taught artist employs everyday items--tea bags, Fig Newtons, miniature hair combs, matches, tissues, strips of licorice, graham crackers, torn-up sponges, pencils, and so much more--to create the most astonishingly lifelike scenes.
You can see everything from a port city with boats arriving to a soda shop to a candy store to a classroom, each filled to brimming with trinkets and everyday articles of every kind, each employed as something other than what it really is "

I had that one, but can't find the name, sorry. I'm sure my parents still have it somewhere.
Loved it, btw.

EDIT: got it! I'm pretty sure you're refering to this (in french).

EDIT2: The Great Blueness and Other Predicaments

u/natnotnate · 3 pointsr/tipofmytongue

Could it have been A Time of Darkness by Sherryl Jordan?

>Stranded among gentle cave dwellers, a modern teen-ager finds love, wisdom, and a way to save his own world

u/Skanktus · 2 pointsr/tipofmytongue

Solved!

YES! THIS WAS IT!

The cover was this variation that I remembered.

Thank you!

u/tortured_brain · 1 pointr/tipofmytongue

Sounds a bit like Mysteries of the Unexplained, although I'm pretty sure that was a single book and not multiple volumes.

u/MrSurly · 7 pointsr/tipofmytongue

I think I found it:

I typed "young adult novel sci fi underground" into Google. Second link was
to this
page
,
which led to This Time of
Darkness
, and I'm 95% sure this is it.


Edit: Now I'm 100% sure. Google books has it online. Here's the page about the rats

CBS Storybreak did an animated adaptation of Steve Senn's book The Double Disappearance of Walter Fozbek. Basically, the kid protagonist jumped to a parallel universe with dinosaurs instead of humans. I don't remember if he switched places with a dinosaur version of himself, or if it was just a dinosaur with a similar family whose house occupied the same geographic location.

Good luck finding a video of it, though.

u/NumberM · 4 pointsr/tipofmytongue

Was it definitely dinosaurs, or could it have been dragons, as in The Woodland Folk in Dragonland? It looks like that one is also part of a larger series of stories about the Woodland Folk.

u/YourWebcamIsOn · 1 pointr/tipofmytongue

Killobyte by Piers Anthony? It's a book, but isn't very long and reads like a series of short stories, from what I remember.

amazon.com/Killobyte-Piers-Anthony/dp/0441444253

u/SpyhopX · 6 pointsr/tipofmytongue

This is definitely The Green Book by Jill Paton Walsh. I read it in school also!

u/LoverlyRails · 2 pointsr/tipofmytongue

Update! I think I found it. CBS Storybreak. Sounds like this is the episode.

edit: And here is the book it's based on

u/kecchin · 2 pointsr/tipofmytongue

This isn't an A, it's an F - but this is from a series, so maybe there was an A character too?

http://www.amazon.com/Find-Freddie-Where-Are-They/dp/094202513X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1370704847&sr=1-1&keywords=where+are+they+tony+tallarico

I remember there also being a 'Where's Wendy?' and a 'Look for Lisa' though amazon doesn't seem to list anyone with an A....

u/vickevlar · 2 pointsr/tipofmytongue

Sounds like The Eleventh Hour by Graeme Base. He also wrote Animalia.

u/Capissen38 · 4 pointsr/tipofmytongue

This sounds a lot like a book I had, called Mysteries of the Unexplained. I probably read that thing twenty times as a kid.

u/Shmaesh · 2 pointsr/tipofmytongue

I loved Time Cat as a kid. It doesn't sound like the right match, but who knows.

u/remierk · 2 pointsr/tipofmytongue

Kind of a longshot as the book was quite big but maybe the Encyclopedia of Things That Never Were?

u/10875 · 3 pointsr/tipofmytongue

Found it! The word "woodland" jumped to my mind and amazon found it quickly after that: The Woodland Folk in Dragonland :D

u/ThirdFloorNorth · 1 pointr/tipofmytongue

Found it immediately after posting, after wracking my brain for hours. Will leave this here for anyone else.

It's the "Search and Find" books by Tony Tallarico. My crude drawing was Freddie from the Find Freddie book.

God I feel better now.

u/geoffreyTspaulding · 2 pointsr/tipofmytongue

Based on your description of the cover it could be this one: http://openlibrary.org/works/OL82643W/Virtual_War
edit: There's a plot description on the book's Amazon page. Sounds about right?

u/mouskavitz · 3 pointsr/tipofmytongue

Are you thinking of "The Big Book Of..." series by DK Publishing? and the illustrated book of myths https://www.amazon.com/Illustrated-Book-Myths-Neil-Philip/dp/0789402025 by the same publisher

u/TWFM · 1 pointr/tipofmytongue

Maybe Time Cat?

EDIT: Probably not, because I just read the blurb and Time Cat goes into the past, not the future, but I still had to suggest it just because the title fits so well :)


u/ilovesojulee · 3 pointsr/tipofmytongue

Perhaps The Eleventh Hour or one of the other Animalia books?

u/randomerrors · 3 pointsr/tipofmytongue

Killobyte? I haven't read it in a while, but it seems similar to what you're asking. There's a tower, a boy, a video game, and some bow and arrows. Also a girl, though not the boy's sister.

u/ceefrock · 1 pointr/tipofmytongue

Rocco aka A Time of Darkness by Sherryl Jordan. Rocco dreams of wolves attacking.

https://www.amazon.com/Time-Darkness-Sherryl-Jordan/dp/0590433628

u/Spitfires · 1 pointr/tipofmytongue

My sister has a book in her room that I believe goes along these lines, I'll go look when she wakes up.

Edit: Looks like i'm wrong, but Time Cat

u/asknetguy · 4 pointsr/tipofmytongue

Is this the book you're looking for:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0140375988/adamcadreac
Singularity:
Harry and Barry are twins. Their parents have gone on a trip and sent them to an isolated farm out on the prairie. (Missing parents!) Barry's the dominant twin, so much so that even though they're identical, people remark that Harry acts like he's the little brother. When they meet a girl, Harry isn't the one she goes for.

Out on the farm is a shed. One day Barry steps inside and the door slams behind him. Harry immediately opens the door again to find Barry asleep and in need of a shave. He thinks he's been locked in overnight. It turns out that inside the shed is a singularity which distorts time. For every second that goes by outside the shed, an hour goes by inside.

u/sdrawkab · 1 pointr/tipofmytongue

Could it be the Virtual War Chronologs series? It was required reading in 6th grade which I skimmed. It is a trilogy, and your description sounds vaguely familiar.
