Can you guess the English title from these covers?

Post by pete9012S »

Yes, let's have a game before Christmas is upon us!

Can you name the English title for these foreign books by looking at the cover?
I think some are rather hard and obscure, so I will be giving out clues for some in case we get stuck.
Also, I may not have the correct answer myself, so please say if you think I have the English title wrong.

Have as many guesses as you like, whenever you want as I would like to keep the game moving and post as many covers as possible before the New Year!!

Good luck!
Here's an easy one to start us off:

ps. There will be one 'elephant in the room' - a book that is not by Enid Blyton - so beware!!

This is only a guess but it could be Holiday House I suggest, with little conviction.

Yes, a great guess Barnard. It's not that one.

This cover is not really representative of the book which has a three word title...

The cover is downright scary.
