I've just reread John Christopher's The White Mountains, and it struck me that it's like Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in being a story about running away from home. What are some other good works of fiction about kids (it'll usually be boys, I expect) running away from home on purpose?
Could we perhaps keep the focus on that theme specifically, and write elsewhere about things like accidentally being separated from one's family and home, or being kidnapped, or having to leave home (like Watership Down), or joining a group of dwarves seeking stolen treasure, etc., and nonfiction narratives? No movies, perhaps?
