Yes, it is a physical place (without land) they colonized- it works

[Kate]

Just in case, does South work?

yes

Mmmmm...I don't think anyone has asked I did a quick skim and didn't see but does The Hunger Games work for this task?

[Kate]

Dlmrose, I think you missed my question in post 107. Does South work for this task? I mean it pretty much takes place in Antarctica.

Without too many spoilers, there is intervention so it is not a naturally occurring wilderness , but I'll say yes, because all the elements are there.

Thanks Dlm! I am a little more than half way through it. That is why I am asking.

Would Fallen by David Maine work for this task? It's about Adam, Eve, Cain & Abel, so I'm assuming it's entirely set in nature, pre-civilization.

Do the Nevada Barr book work here? They all take place in National Parks, with the majority being outside.

Most work. High Country is an example in the task description. Some, like Liberty Falling set in New York, would not work

[Elizabeth (NC)]

Thanks--I figured they would, and if I had read the task description more carefully, would have answered by own question. Thank you for being so patient with us!

No problem- it can get complicated. I have to double-check all the time

I thought I saw this on here, but can't find it. Does The Hobbit: Or There and Back Again work?

It does

[Sue]

Great, thanks!

I have a collection of two novellas When Darkness Loves Us and in one, the entire story basically takes place in a cave, while the other is on a homestead.

Would this work?

Would this work?"

Sorry, no- the first part might work, but the description for the book refers to small town life

[Valorie]

Will work? The character is studying glaciers in Antarctica.

Would Winter's Bone fit for this task?

[Dlmrose, Moderator Emeritus]

Alisha wrote: "Would Winter's Bone fit for this task?"

Yes, it is set in the rural Ozarks and Ree has to navigate the backwoods

Vanessa asked about The Golden Compass

While there's a portion set in an alternate Oxford, there is a journey to the far North and time with the gyptians on the water- I think it works

Would The Northern Lights (The Golden Compass) by Phillips Pullman work for this task?
The Golden Compass

It's technically in a different dimension....

Would The Windup Girl work? The novel takes place in future Thailand.

It is hard to tell from the description, but I have not found anything that points to a natural wilderness setting- I have found references to a setting in a future Bangkok and agribusiness factories. It does not look like it fits

Would The Whale Riderwork? Takes place in the Maori lands of New Zealand. Much also takes place in the ocean around New Zealand.
