[Samurai/Japan Teen book]

Hi.

 

I wonder if anyone could help me with this one?

I am a librarian and have had an enquiry from a 14 year old customer about a book series, which is as follows:

 

"All that I remember is that it's a fantasy book, it had a sequel of three books done all by the same author, it was about warriors or samurai, martial arts and set in Japan.
There were three main characters, two boys and a girl. The colour scheme of the first book was silver and red with these three characters on the cover, the second book was silver and yellow, and the third silver and blue".

 

I would be grateful for any help as this has stumped us.

Yes I know the nursery rhyme. It seems obvious now.

[Can you tell me what this book series is?]

Thank the gods for that!  It was making my eye twitch......

 

Me too

[Can you tell me what this book series is?]

Thanks for searching. I can't find anything either.

 

Is there any way I can edit the heading of my original post, as clearly I have spelt book wrong (Doh!).

[Can you tell me what this book series is?]

I have been presented with a challenge.

 

An inspector out of Tonbridge or Tunbridge Wells, recovering alcoholic, who's wife works for the British Museum. They solve historical mysteries or go after relics. More Thriller than Crime/Detective story.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks.

Not actually in the book, but Sherlock Holmes and the Running Noose was recorded on Bromley Library catalogue as Sherlock Holmes and the Running Nose.

Inspired by Susan Hill's Howards End is On the Landing: name one of your favourite book titles. It doesn't have to be a book you actually liked.

 

I'll begin: Beyond Lies the Wub.

[Unfinished books.. will you pick them up again?]

I read half of To Kill a Mockingbird about ten years ago, and have been meaning to finish it ever since; but will I ever do it?

[Who do you identify with?]

As a teenager I had a thing about Helen Burns from Jane Eyre, but I was a melancholy youth.

[Who do you identify with?]

Which fictional character do you identify with most? I recently read The Lost Horizon and found myself in sympathy with 'Conway.'

[Hello]

Thanks all!

For me Sleep, Pale Sister outstrips them all. Runemarks is also one of my favourites.

[Hello]

Thanks for the welcome. Does anyone know if we can edit our posts once posted on here?

 

The only other Adrian Mole book I've read is Adrian Mole and the Weapons of Mass Destruction, which is very funny. I will let you know about The Lost Diaries.

[Hello]

Hello. I've just joined and wanted to say hello. I live in Kent and work as a librarian (so plenty of reading opportunities come my way). I don't really have a favourite genre of fiction. If its well written then I'm not choosy, but I do tend to avoid modern crime and the Family Saga section; and you won't catch me reading westerns either. I do read classics a lot, and also fantasy fiction sometimes. I run a reading group in the library and we have just read The Sea House by Esther Freud. Currently we are reading The Lost Diaries of Arian Mole.
