Olivia’s comments from the What's the Name of That Book??? group.

Thank you! I didn’t know about that. I’ll definitely look into it. :)

Yes!! Yes, I do believe that's it. My library doesn't have it for me to make sure. From the description though, it sounds correct. Thank you!!

So, I read this I believe when I was in 4th-6th grade so like around 2005-2007. Even at that time, I believe it was older. I think I got it off my teacher's classroom shelf. I vaguely remember it possibly having a black cover. It was about two girls and they are sisters. One had an older name I believe and had diabetes. They would hang out in a treehouse I think in their yard. I think the big conflict in the book was that they had to move and they were being raised by a single father. One of the sisters also had diabetes and the other gave her M&Ms to help and I think they were specifically red ones she liked best.

I apologize if this is all very vague and slightly specific, but I may have screwed up on many of the details.

Thanks in advance for your help!

SOLVED! Daughter of the Flames by Zoe Marriott

I am still looking! Thank you! I could not find my post again.

I read this a few years ago, but that doesn't necessarily describe when it was published. I think it came out definitely in the 2000s. It's a young adult book about a girl named Tyla, may have been Talya. It starts out that she's in this spiritual community and something happens and she becomes the new leader. She has to then defeat this king. The whole book had an Asian feel to it, but I can't exactly remember if it was based in Asia. Anyway, she meets this young lord/rich man and he helps her people and her to find a way to battle the king. Somewhere in there they decide to marry. He gets sick at a point and she has to nurse him and sleeps in his bed. I remember a line about her not being uncomfortable to share his bed once they're married because she'd been sleeping in the same room for so long. At the end of the book she has to battle the king or the evil guy to save the country or town. That's really all I remember for now. I do know the title was something like "Tyla:..." it had a : in it for sure and there was a bird on fire on the cover (I'm pretty sure). Please help. It's been driving me crazy.
