Wholesome father-daughter relationships with no or very minimal romance + action/adventure
I’m looking for any books that have a good relationship between a father and a daughter and they go on adventures together. Preferably no books where either of them die and no sexual content please.
Is leave no trace a novel? The film certainly hits your needs

All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
Marie-Laure, one of the novel’s two young protagonists, is blind. Her father, Daniel, builds a miniature replica of her neighborhood so that she can memorize it and find her way home. When the Nazis invade Paris and the two of them flee the city, Daniel describes everything that he sees, patiently detailing his observations to his daughter, who must learn to navigate an entirely new and terrifying landscape. Both Marie-Laure and Daniel are noble, brave, and likable, and the love between them is endearing.
There are some adult themes, of course, taking place during WWII, but suffering and death are minimal and quickly overshadowed by the love between Daniel and Marie-Laure.
If you’re looking for a book to read to or with your daughter, don’t miss this one. If she’s not old enough for it now, you should definitely read it to or with her when she is. It’s a wonderful book.

These Silent Woods?? It’s not a typical father-daughter relationship, but they do live in the woods (off the grid) together.
