Sascha (itst) | 2 comments Hi all!

Some 30+ years ago, middle to late 1980ies, I was given a book I never came around to finish reading. Mostly, because I thought it was boring.

A boy, whose parent are rich, maybe aristocratic, is kidnapped. First he is transported in a car or van, later he is brought on a river boat.

As far I remember the setting is contemporary Britain.

Maybe the book was written for children/teens …

Hmm. Does this meager description ring any bells?

Thanks!

Capn | 3506 comments Do you mean river boat like a paddle-wheeler or steamboat?

Or like a canal boat (narrowboat or barge)?
