Is the boy a teenager or a younger child?Is there a romance or romantic interest in the girl?
The boy is maybe about 10, the age the book is aimed for. Too young for a real romantic interest in the girl, but I think he is very drawn to her. Thanks for asking!
Do you remember if the book won any awards that might help narrow it down?Goodreads has a children’s classics list that might be helpful: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/9...
Thsnk you, Charlotte. I don’t know what award it won… Thank you for the list. I checked it, but don’t see it. It amazes me, though, how I can forget so much about a book, and yet still feel the same emotion when I remember it, that it evoked long ago. Books truly are a unique kind of magic.

MG and YA Wilderness
Thank you! That's a wonderful list! I don't see it, but I see many others I'd like to read!
Yeah, Listopia is dangerous that way! ;)Do you remember where it was set? Which country, or even state?
Not that realistic. Set in a fantasy world. I am giving up. I wish I remembered more about it; first the boy finds a cabin in a woods, then goes on a journey that reaches the chasm I mentioned. I have looked at lists of children's fantasies. I have to start keeping a journal of what I read. Thank you for trying!
No need to give up! :) You can leave this thread open indefinitely - someone who knows it might be able to give you the title straightaway! :)
Oh, ok, glad to know that, thank you! (I am brand new to Goodreads.)
Do you know how the girl got to the other side of the chasm?

I don't recall that. I really only remember the bare bones of the plot, but recalling it does evoke the feeling of the book in me. And I admire that in a book, after so many years!
...or not... gah, I hate the GR app...
No, I love that book to pieces, but no. Would never forget that one! Thank you, though! Good call, it has a bit in common with whatever I am searching for.... Thank you!
Thank you. I don't think so. Sounds like a good read, though!
The copy I read was, I think, an Aladdin or Harper Trophy paperback, bright spring green. I do remember that it is a classic that I had meant to read for many years, but I obviously don't recall the title. Thank you.
