The two novels being compared are “They Eyes of the Dragon” by Stephen King and “Lost on a Mountain in Maine” by Donn Fendler. These novels have differences and similarities that have recently been found. In this comparative essay, it will be found if the novels are more similar or different.

You could tell “Lost on a Mountain in Maine” is for kids in the upper elementary grades through maybe a couple years through middle school. His writing is easy to understand for anyone of almost any age and knew the meaning to at least three-fourths of the words in the novel.

Peter came back stronger than ever and ruling the kingdom of Delain better than any King has ever done. When twelve year old Donn Fendler got lost on Mount Katahdin for nine days he had to survive the harsh weathers and on very little food. Fendler came back with a new experience that changed his life forever and also was mentally stronger than he ever was before. Two books may be completely different in context but have a strong similarity that ties them both
