Mazlum | 3 comments PLOT The boy is younger than 10 goes to each of his family members and they add details to the cardboard box. like giving the box a mouth or holes for eyes so he can see out of it. I do not know the author or the name of the book. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I read the book in primary school I do not know the exact year but I finished primary school in 1998 - 2004.

I just looked through the list and sadly none of those are the book I am looking for. If it helps im from the UK. Oh and thank you for the list I do appreciate it.

Capn | 3506 comments Not at all! :) It actually helps to rule out whole swathes of books with similar premises in one go.

I'll keep an eye out!

Do you remember if the boy ONLY uses it as a helmet? Or as other things as well?

Mazlum | 3 comments From what I remember yes only as a helmet well he only uses it on his head., its quite a short story, I believe it takes place only in the house not sure if that helps.
