- I'm looking for science fiction novels. I haven't really read much, but the last few people that recommended some to me recommended ones with elves and dragons. :grr:
So yeah, science fiction with no magic, just actual science-y stuff, pretty please?
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. It's about this guy who reads through an old man's notes and journals which are about a family who move into this house in which rooms and hallways mysteriously pop up in. I haven't read it all the way through in the last year I've had it, but there has not been one sign of magic, but there are loads of investigations of the paranormal, and plenty of questions as to why the house is bigger on the inside than the outside. If that floats your boat.
I'm actually looking for two books.
First, I'm looking for a book which is set to pirates, or in a small country town. The country town preferably from the last fifty years, with either romance or adventure. From the boy's or girl's perspective.
The second book I'm looking for is a children's book which involved dwarves. I think it was about a girl who had this big dog, and she was going to see her grandmother, but she had to cross the mountains first; and every time she encountered a dwarf they took something from her, until all she had was her dog, and they took him too. And in the end she got her dog back. Can anyone help me?
