Cedric | 3 comments The last time I read the book I'm searching for, was 6-7 years ago, so the story is a little vague, as I do not know names of characterd or the author or even the title, but:

The story is situated during time of war(I think WWII), and follows a young boy. The young boy has to be transported with several other peoples by some soldiers, but on the way the car has an accident (by a mine?), and the boy is the only surviver, except for a girl. I know there was snow in that period. The boy and girl travel together, and here is where I start to forget everything... I do know the end of the story though, the boy waits all alone for a train and cries and I think he faints, but is discovered by a friend.. in the end, the boy gets safely back to his home country and is back home.

I've been searching for this book and would be glad if someone could help me.

I want to say Empire of the Sun? Probably not it.

Cedric | 3 comments At that time, I found the book in the library. I was 15-16 and was one of the books my teacher advised us students to read, so it might've been for teens. But I did not check if the book was new at that time.

Cedric, duplicate thread deleted. I know you really want to find the book but please don't create duplicate threads as people will respond in different locations, making it very confusing.
