This sucks, it seems that this site has deleted everything old? So I can't find my old query that someone was so incredibly nice to answer.
1. Young adult or children's book about some siblings or kids stuck in a museum overnight I remember the word "Abode" being used in the book. Crazy stairs, trap doors, etc. On the cover, there are two girls crawling along the floor, and the stairs go in impossible directions. Yellow or orange cover. Possibly called something like "Scared Straight" or "scared Silly".
2. A book about a school — I feel like it's probably Louis Sachar or likewise? Where the kids in the corner make snide remarks all day, but nobody can tell from what person the remarks come.
Thanks for help if you can provide it.
