Erin Cunningham  (historicalfic123) | 46 comments I can't remember this title and it's killing me. Its a historical/alternative historical fiction book about these kids who live below a city (I'm pretty sure its London) and they have to go on some quest or something. They find a boy who has no memory and bring him into the catacombs but I can't remember the title and I want to finish reading it! It was a young adult book and I would have started it maybe a year and a half ago. I think the book was brown maybe too if thats any help.

Cupcakedoll | 322 comments Winter of Magic's Return by Pamela F. Service maybe.


Erin Cunningham  (historicalfic123) | 46 comments No it’s not that. I’m pretty sure it was published post 2000’s

Erin Cunningham  (historicalfic123) | 46 comments No. One of the main characters was a girl and she was the one who found the boy with amnesia and brought him to their group.


Brittany (weareattached) | 221 comments This sounds a little similar to The Clockwork Scarab in terms of the boy with no memory and being brought back to a place. Underground London makes me think of the Inside the Shadow City books. Good luck.

Erin Cunningham  (historicalfic123) | 46 comments Those are similar but not it. This book had a group of kids who lived underground and the girl brought the boy with no memory down with her. Maybe it took place in France. I know it was somewhere in the UK
