SOLVED. YA Fantasy. Plot twist (in comments). Two boys go on an adventure (city? jungle?). Troublemaker started fires? Depressing. Possibly Australian? author, not a big name author. Read around 2007. Spoiler.

Fantasy/ suspense/ twist ending read around 2007 starts off with two boys who go on some adventures I think, not sure of the setting, city? Jungle? But in the end the story was just this dream world created by a boy whose mind was disabled by his brother ( or friend? Accidentally I think.. but this isnt revealed until the end. So this whole time the story is in the disabled boys head but then switches to the other boy's perspective to reveal what really happened. Cannot remember anything before the plot twist ending! It was really depressing. I think the author was Australian. It is not a big name author. I think the character's name was Finn,not sure which one. Seems like Finn was a troublemaker who started fires or something.

YA I believe

[Astral]

No not Book of Dreams. It was depressing. Had a Lord of the Flies feel to it I think

[Astral]

The disabled boy I think was in a crib in the end. Man I am trying so hard to remember any more details.

[Astral]

Maybe the author isn't Australian but I do think it was a female author

The Queen-Seekers?

[Astral]

@Rainbowheart no not The Queen-Seekers unfortunately. it seems like it had a name like " The Unforgiven" or maybe just "Unforgiven ", not a long title. I wish I could remember more. one day it will come to me!

[Astral]
