restroom Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Hi Everyone, There are two books i remember reading when i was younger. I have found one of them, called Room 13, by Robert Swindells. However, the other i dont have any clue on. All i remember was the book was based on a boy lost in either the moors in the UK or somewhere in the valleys in Wales and he sees a monster\dog and he is there for some time learning how to fend for himself etc. Any ideas if anyone read a book like that when they were younger? I want to get them both for my young son. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, I don't think I ever read a survival story set in the UK. My thought was a book called Walkabout, a coming-of-age survival book set in the Australian Outback.

spikey_richie Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 As an alternative, there's a good community of book identification people on https://literature.stackexchange.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
