Can you guess the English title from these covers?
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!

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 Chief looked at Fatty. "Brains are good, courage is excellent, resourcefulness is rare," he said, "but generosity crowns everything, Frederick. One of these days I'll be proud of you!" - "Vanished Prince".

First year at Malory Towers when Gwen was pushed in the pool....taking a wild guess.

The cover is downright scary.
