Books That Take Place In Another Country
I’ve read a lot of books that took place in space, but I decided to not use those. They were too easy. So I found books that took place on Earth but not in the United States.
Australia

I’ve loved reading since I was little when my dad would read me Dr. Suess books. Fast-forward a little and I noticed that he was always reading on his lunch breaks at work, and I wondered why.Then, I found a book that took me to another place and time, to another feeling,another sense of “being”.It was the first book that I ever fell in love with, and I’ve been chasing that feeling ever since.

I forgot about Chimera Sequence! That was a good one. Ill have to check out Primordial as well.
Yeah! I basically thought… Okay what other books took place here. And then racked my brain for 5 mins.
I haven’t read any of these, but I love the kangaroo on the cover of that Australian book.
Now I’m kinda curious to see your space list… here’s my very down to earth list (I’m in the Caribbean so it has a slight slant on the theme): https://jhohadli.wordpress.com/2018/03/27/ttt-another-country
