Gabrielle | 3 comments Ok so I read a couple books from a series (at least three books in the series pretty sure there's more) and it was eight years ago so I can't remember the name. I honestly don't know much about it/.\ It was a fictional book for kids or teens, I assume, and it was about orphans I'm pretty sure they were brothers only a couple years apart. They books were set in a world similar to ours but there were a lot of differences I think they may have been on a hunt for their parents I can't remember. I remember them having to go through this weird house and the book had a drawn picture of it and it was probably many stories night and it wasn't abnormal house and it was almost a maze without a map. I think there may have been a part with them being underground in some kind of river in a boat. Also I think they had a flashback to when they were in an orphanage at one point, but they ran away. Any possible help with what this book was would be great. I remember the books being pretty small maybe like 200 pages and the length was only about 6 inches tops. The pages were also different than normal books, they weren't all aligned some stuck out more then others.

Gabrielle, I moved your request to the Unsolved folder because you're looking for a specific book.

Please add a description of your book series (and genre like YA fantasy) to the Topic header. This will help people searching for books. (Click "edit" beside the header if you're on the desktop, not mobile, version of the website. Just ask if you'd like some help.)

Noor Al-Shanti It's been a while since I read this so I'm not sure if it fits all the details, but your description reminds me of Escape to Witch Mountain by Alexander Key ... is that similar to what you're looking for?

Kristina | 137 comments Not quite what you described, but similar: The Field Guide (The Spiderwick Chronicles, #1) by Tony DiTerlizzi .
