I found some new books, but as usual probably pics on the cover only (except for the Susan K. Marlow books below)
-Dagmar Scherf: Die Wölfe - Den Lederjacken auf der Spur (kid ~12, probably a girl, also on audio CD)
-Brigitte Blobel: Zweistein & Co (older girl)
-Alice Gray: Pflaster fürs Herz - Storys für Teens (original: Stories for a Teen's Heart) German edition, older teen boy. Update: there are some sequel books in English. One short story is "Ich heiße Ike" by Gary Paulsen.
Susan K. Marlow:
I mentioned some of her book series some time ago, and now have checked some of them.
Most of the adventure books are about the girl Andi (Andrea) at different age in the 1870s and 80s. First, as 6 yo in the series Circle C Beginnings (illustrations), 9 yo in Stepping Stones (cover photo), 12 yo in the Circle C Adventures, and as older teen in the Milestones series. She often or always wore overalls and pigtails. Many mentionings on the Amazon inside search and often described as dirty and filthy.
Interesting in "Andrea Carter's Tale from the Circle C Ranch", where the little girl pleaded for wearing overalls for riding. Tomboy.
Also at least 2 boys (including cover photos) in bibs. 12 yo nephew Levy and teen boy Ryan (both at least in the Circle C Adventure series), Levy in "Family Secret" (one mentioning), Ryan in "Trouble with Treasure" (probably no mentionings).
The only book series aimed at boys is the Western series "Goldtown Adventures" with 12 yo Jem (one mentioning in "Tunnel Boy", probably no pics).
Very interesting books, but mainly about girls. I still consider buying one.
For more infos and photos read my older post, linked above.
Update: There will be a new Goldtown "Beginning" book series with a younger, 7 yo boy. Probably no bibs either. I will probably order one of the Circle C Adventures soon.
