Sarah | 33 comments I read this children's/young adult book in the late 80's or early 90's. I remember there was a maze and there were children who were in the maze and trying to escape. They find a way to climb the walls of the maze and walk along the top of the maze walls for a long distance. I don't remember what else happens. I thought this book might have been The Maze in the Heart of the Castle, but from the description, I am doubting this to be the case, though I think I read that one as well. I do know that it is NOT The Maze Runner. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Thanks!

Dawn | 220 comments maybe The Silver Chair by CS Lewis? It's got something that I'm remembering as being very close to what you describe.The Silver Chair

Sarah | 33 comments The only Narnia story I've read is The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. I really should read the others! Thanks, though!

Sarah | 33 comments I decided to reread The Maze in the Heart of the Castle by Dorothy Gilman, just to make sure it isn't the book I'm looking for. Well, I'm glad I reread it, because it is the right book! I wouldn't have guessed that it was based on the description, but I had this nagging feeling that I should at least take a look at it. Thanks!

Sarah | 33 comments I like shelving my "found" books! It gives me a mini-sense of accomplishment. :)
