The story doesn't have to be solely about that, it can be something that happens in it. Don't recommend Cujo, because I have read that. Can be horror, historical fiction, or scify. No non fiction please. by constant-reader1408 Related: Literaturre from Ireland/U.K. Non-fantasy/scifi fiction novel with a main character who is crafting, building, tinkering a lot e.g. a kid during summer vacation building treehouses, gadgets in his freetime. I’m looking for something that a teenage boy who is into videogames would love to read. Recommendation needed – something like The Ploughmen Suggest me a book which entirely changed your perspective on life Books where unsettling/new/unexpected customs and tribal groups emerge
