Fan Casting Free-Range Children in Sort by Tropes

Pre-teens and young teens in fiction will wander about their town, ride their bikes around the region, or even explore the countryside, with little adult supervision or even concern. They'll ride down to their friend's house on the other side of town and go outside at night to places on the outskirts of town to explore old houses and vacant lots. In some stories, pre-teens may go on trips across the country without their parents.
