Hello there! It's been a long time since I've posted on AW...
My current WIP is MG adventure fantasy-ish, even though I read mostly MG contemporary. I'm running into issues because I'm not sure how my MC would be able to go off adventuring without her parents freaking out. In the MG fantasy I've read, it seems like the MC is always an orphan or a Chosen One who gets whisked away to start a new life. My book also has no time travel (A Wrinkle in Time) or time standing still (Narnia!)
Does anyone have recommendations where the absence of parenting is handled smoothly? I know I need to read more in the genre anyways, so I'm looking forward to your responses!
