Based on #5: Your favorite "survival in the wilderness" books!

[(Anonymous)]

The ones I remember fondly from my childhood are:

Jean Craighead George: My Side of the Mountain, Julie of the Wolves
Scott O'Dell, Island of the Blue Dolphins
Gary Paulsen, Hatchet
Astrid Lindgren, Ronia, the Robber's Daughter
Julie Andrews, Mandy
Anne S. Lindbergh, Worry Week
E.L. Konigsberg, From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler (I know, not exactly "wilderness", but I loved it as a kid)

I know there are more I'm forgetting. What are yours?

Right? Running away and hiding in a cool museum just sounded like a fantastic idea, even without the mystery of the statue. For years after, I eyed every water fountain with coins in it, wishing I could jump in and start collecting them.

I was a New York kid and I've been in that museum!

Ah, that must've been even cooler, having it take place somewhere familiar to you. I remember thinking it was so exotic, taking place in a big city with places I'd never heard of and things like that vending machine that served sandwiches and actual meals. (I came from a mid sized town and had never left the 'burbs at that point in my life.)

The Met is my favorite museum.

My Side of the Mountain and Julie of the Wolves were the only ones I’d ever heard of until I was an adult. Some are after my time but others I don’t know how they escaped me.
An this isn’t a childhood read but I remember liking the survival elements in Stephen King’s The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon.

We read Cold River by William Judson in school and I really loved it.

There was this Apple Paperbacks one I loved as a kid, Just a Little Bit Lost by Laurel Trivelpiece - Total city girl Bennet Kinnell and handsome but too-cool-to-live Phillip Hargrove get lost during a class camping trip in the California Sierra--and they're stuck with each other. They're going to have to get along to get out alive.

A Girl Named Disaster by Nancy Farmer was my favorite.

I LOVED Julie of the Wolves when I was a kid. I still remember her using her hands to mimic wolf ears/tail to communicate with them, and that one of the wolves she named Jello. My younger sister was all about Hatchet, but Julie of the Wolves was IT for me.

And in the vein of From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, there was one about kids living in a shopping mall that I can't remember the title of, but it FASCINATED me.
