No clue yet about the other two, but is the first "The Music of Dolphins"?
I do believe the third one may be "Midnight Magic" by Avi.

Yes,the first one is The Music of Dolphins", thanks. And no, 'Midnight Magic' is not the one I'm thinking of. It had a modern setting I believe.
The second one reminds me of "The Ghost Next Door", a Goosebumps book about a girl who's pretty sure her new friend is a ghost, when actually the ghost is her, since she died in a fire at the beginning of the book.
Okay I'm looking for the titles of a few books
The first was about a girl who when she was little she was in a helicopter going over the ocean with her parents. The helicopter crashes, her parents die, and she gets adopted by dolphins. Years later, she is found by some scientist lady who takes care of her and teaches her how to speak and read and stuff. She wears these rain boots or something, that squeak and remind her of her dolphin family. At the end they are in a boat, the girl spots the dolphins and then runs away with them.
The second is about this girl who is a ghost. She doesn't know she is a ghost and makes friends with this kid (a boy I think) who is the only one who can see her. I cant quite remember if he knew all along that she was dead or not, but I think not, because I remember there was some part where he mentioned to someone 'that girl who sits next to me in history class' and they told him that the desk next to his had always been empty. At the end I think he told her and she moved on. If memory serves, the ghost or the kid, or both lived in an apartment building where I think most of the story took place. I think the title was the girl's name or something incorporating her name. I'm also pretty certain that is was illustrated with fairly stylized drawings.
The third I can't remember much about. There was this man who was some kind of wizard who lived in an old house that I think was special or strange in some way, but I can't quite remember. There was a boy and a girl who befriended him and I think he taught them a bit of magic, and they had some kind of goal that they had to accomplish with magic (might have had something to do with the house or a villain I can't remember). I think there may have been a certain time involved like midnight on a certain date. I remember that one of the characters (I think the girl) had a hat with some pins on it. I think it might have had something to do with ghosts also.
Thanks for the help :)
