Similar to The Secret Garden, it was a weird tale of a boy named, I believe, Micah who gets lost in the woods and he&#8217;s gone for such a long time he has to learn to survive eventually he finds an old moss covered skeleton that he befriends similar to that movie &#8220;Castaway &#8221; where Tom Hanks befriends a basketball. Anyways, the boy is all alone. I think he builds some sort a little hut and learned to survive on his own. I think, he&#8217;s about 12 or so and eventually someone finds him like a little girl or something and he tries to introduce her to the skeleton and she freaks out and runs away so the boy&#8217;s left alone again in the forest with his skeleton friend and I don&#8217;t remember the d\u00e9nouement but it&#8217;s kind of sad. Eerie yet beautifully written and haunting tale. It wasn&#8217;t very long but I think I was about 10 when I read it and it transfixed me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please help me find a childhood book probably written in the late 50s 60s or early 70s.
