Five Books set in Small Spaces

Five Books set in small spaces

I love getting stuck in a book but what if you got really stuck in some of the places where these books are set?

A room in a house, a small building, a hiding place, a hole in the ground and maybe in a cave?

If you are  claustrophic, take a deep breath…..

The AirRaid Shelter by Annie Lyons

There’s not many smaller spaces than an air=raid shelter.  The stories of how people used them and coped with them are often sad. This book however lightens that up a little as it talks about hope and reading through the dark times.

 

 

 

 

The most famous small space in a book – The cupboard under the stairs

harry potterHarry Potter – J K Rowling

The cupboard under the stairs is of course the BEST small space as this is where we first meet the lovely Harry Potter. Imagine having to  live there as a child when it was not a fort or a shop you’d created? Bet a million children actually wanted to climb into cupboards after this.
