Okay, really need help. There was this book I read a while back, but can't for the life of me remember what it was called or who it was by. All I can remember is that there were these rooms and the main character (female) had to solve the puzzle in them if she wanted to go on. There was one room that had a curtain going through the middle of it. On the other side of the curtain, something was making noises that were scaring the girl. Eventually, she builds up enough courage to pull it back, and when she does, the thing behind it was herself. I might just be filling this in in my mind, but I think the curtain was red or purple or something. If it helps, I think two of the books had different colored covers, and I think one was a sunset-y orange color, and the other was a lilac-y color. Lilac or laurel, I don't know the difference. If anyone knows, please, please, PLEASE tell me! If this just rings a bell, PLEASE TELL ME! If you can tell me more to look for it by, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME! I think its reading level was somewhere around So You Want To Be A Wizard and the first Harry Potter book. Maybe lower. I read it back between 2000 and 2006. Any more recent than 2006 and it can't have been it. But please let me know if you know anything. A bell ringing, more info, or better yet, the book itself! Please!
