Children’s novel I read in the 90s about two kids who get lost in the woods or “brush”, they find a large abandoned Victorian-looking house beside a lake to take shelter in. They survive off the overgrown garden with rhubarb and raspberries, and fishing from the lake. Their large black shaggy dog, always has hair falling in their eyes (possibly named Sadie?) ends up finding them and returning them to safety.
The book’s cover was yellow/beige, had an oval frame with the shaggy dog’s head extending out like a photograph. Many many thanks for your help!!
Could this be Gone Away Lake by Elizabeth Enright?
Maybe The Brats and Mr. Jack by Hilary Milton?
Unfortunately not. This may be a Canadian novel.
I’m looking for this too! I believe it was Canadian, I read it as part of a class novel study in 4th or 5th grade, so between 1994-1996. I don’t know if it was new or not. There was another book about the same dog as well I think.
