thanks for the recommendation! though I think Im looking for something a little more, sophisticated? I know its pretty specific, but If you have anything in mind please share!
And middle-grade literature isn't sophisticated? ;) Let's see...If you're looking for a classic, Don Quixote meets all of your criteria if you don't mind its length and antiquated text (certainly poetic). I'm not sure if you're looking more for a physical adventure or a metaphorical one, but Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain seems to meet your criteria too. Both of these (and The Phantom Tollbooth) are lovely books. Hope this helps!!
