Adventure books for children

Children's adventure stories: quests, journeys, escape-and-rescue plots, and the satisfying shape of children who set out small and come home changed. The genre overlaps heavily with fantasy and animal stories but is distinguished by its emphasis on motion, agency and the world out there — the books that make a child want to pack a bag.
