1. (Answer is The Queen and I by Sue Townsend)

* The Queen was in bed watching television with Harris.
* He counted them under his breath.
* She and Margaret and Crawfie had once travelled from Piccadilly Circus to Tottenham Court Road, changing at Leicester Square.
* He leapt up toward the parcel which was tucked under the Queen's arm.
* All that could be seen were Harris's sharp teeth and his red, liver-coloured tongue.

3. (Answer is The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger)

* If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.
* "...All right?"
* "...But we had to read outside books for extra credit once in a while."

* If you do, you start missing everybody.

4. (Answer is Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan)

* 9.00 p.m. on a November Saturday.
* This is how I know she knows I know.
* Before, it was all about hope and anticipation.
* "Why?" I ask.
* And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.
