I'm looking for novel with a Child protagonist preferably in a fantasy setting going on an adventure of some sort.

you describe the thing you're writing...
Specifically on scribblehub? And how preteen do you want? Does it matter if they age past that?

If you are looking for a pure child protagonist, it will be difficult, you will end up with a reincarnated protagonist with a child's body but an adult's mind. Pure child protagonists are difficult to develop because the main character of children is innocence, which doesn't fit with the complex story conflict. I myself make children more like the world's moral compass, a boundary that no one should touch. By the way, my protagonist is a young mother with a 6-year-old child (a little girl).

Yeah 12 or younger and not a reincarnation story. I mean like Avatar or Naruto. I'm trying to read more of the genre I'm writing to compare and contrast. Maybe gleam something to improve my momentum. I'm sure there's one on this site somewhere just having some trouble finding them.

Not a child, but the protagonist of my story Nowhere to Run is a teenager. I'd love it if you give it a chance.

12 or younger
Y'know that is really low for novels especially... it's a webtoon, but how 'bout "Children of Mirra"?
like if it were able to be isekai, there are a pile I could find a pile. Novels especially benefit from a cognitive protagonist.
