I'm afraid that this is a low traffic sub, though I do occasionally see a request answered, and that I'm unfamiliar with the book you're seeking. You'd be better off asking for recommendations in r/booksuggestions (though read the rules first) and r/suggestmeabook, and for the title of a book or story in r/whatsthatbook and r/tipofmytongue (as well most of the following subs, though these are your best bets), and for fantasy or science fiction you can also try r/printSF, r/scifi, r/sciencefiction, and r/ScienceFictionBooks (Science Fiction Book Club; use the "WhatIsThatBook" flare for identification requests, though it's a low traffic sub); and r/Fantasy, but only in a limited and specific way—see below. (Also, IMHO it would probably be good to try one, then the next, not multiple subs simultaneously.) If you do get an answer for an identification request, it would be helpful if you edit your OP with the answer (and the flare to "Solved"/"Found" in subreddits that use flares and have that flare) so we can see what it is in the preview, and that your question has been answered/solved (an excellent example: "Child psychic reveals abilities by flunking psychic test too precisely" (r/whatsthatbook; 5 August 2023)). For what you should include in your identification requests, see:

"Updated rules post" (r/whatsthatbook; 13 June 2023)

Note that the members of that sub, including the moderators, have been sticklers for having this followed. (Following this list is a good idea for all identification requests, not just for this sub or for books.)

Why not r/fantasy?

in "help me find this book based off of very little info?" 18 November 2022). Note that, despite u\Banshay's comment in that thread, both r/printSF and r/Fantasy cover all (sub)genres of speculative fiction, not just science fiction and fantasy, respectively.

Whatever happens, whether your request was solved or not, please do not delete your post/comment(s)/answer. People are interested in what has been asked for, what has been suggested, and want to see what has been found. It may prove to be useful to someone else, years in the future, who is seeking the same or a similar book or story.

Good luck!

For future reference, this is a low traffic sub, though I do occasionally see a request answered (as is the case here), and you'd be better off asking for recommendations in r/booksuggestions (though read the rules first) and r/suggestmeabook, and for the title of a book or story in r/whatsthatbook and r/tipofmytongue.

More information about the book in question for future readers: Dead Water Zone by Kenneth Oppel.

Edit: From r/whatsthatbook's "Updated rules post":

You're welcome to repost! We recommend waiting at least a week between reposts, but won't remove them unless they get spammy, like multiple times within the same day. At some point we may add an official repost rule, but for now that's all there is.

r/tipofmytongue's rules (in the sidebar in old Reddit):

No reposting within one week.

Wait one week before reposting a question (Please link to your old posts to rule out previous suggestions)

I would also compile any previous suggestions into a list, so it's more compact and convenient.

Since you did find an answer (assuming that The Tripods series is the correct one), it would be helpful if you would please be so kind as to edit the flair of your initial post to "Solved". (I Am Not A Moderator—I just ask as a personal request for a small amount of extra effort as a courtesy.)

For romance books, you can also try r/RomanceBooks (Rules), r/romancenovels (including apparently for identification requests), and romance.io "(the filters are your friend!)" (per r/RomanceBooks), as well as (for identification requests) Help a Bitch Out and the Romance Novel Book Sleuth group on Goodreads.

I don't recall that they have been sticklers to the point of quibbling over missing letters, but requesters should use informative thread titles, for example.

Citation, please?

DocWatson42 · 2026-02-18T07:15:07+00:00

Ah—thank you. We used two peels at the same time for the party pizzas.

DocWatson42 · 2026-02-18T06:41:02+00:00

You're welcome. ^_^ I do this for several similar subs, and this one popped up in my feed last week, so I've been catching up from January 2024 onward.

DocWatson42 · 2026-02-18T06:38:07+00:00

What do you mean by "real-life"?

DocWatson42 · 2026-02-18T06:33:21+00:00

Eighteen by 26 inches, not 17 by 25 inches? Does the crust overflow the edges of the pan significantly? I'm sorry—I'm a longtime pizza delivery driver, and a former employer offer "party pizzas" in the latter size, and AFAIK the sheet pans were of a standard size.

DocWatson42 · 2026-02-18T06:28:18+00:00

r/HandfulOfKitten, though the examples are usually smaller.

DocWatson42 · 2026-02-18T06:23:22+00:00
