I remember City of Ember being pretty good for a kids series. There’s no “special powers” or anything, just some kids trying to escape what’s basically a city sized bomb shelter that’s semi-self-sustaining. I haven’t read it in decades but I’m pretty sure it’ll hold up as a book for your kids.
Great, I have to read the same stuff as my kid for the next two decades… At least I’ll have motivation to keep reading.

Writing this down for later
I remember enjoying that book when I was younger, good stuff.
Some books I enjoyed when I was a kid that didn’t fit the trips above:
Try Jonathan Stroud’s Bartimaeus Sequence.
The Amulet of Samarkand
The Golem’s Eye
Ptolemy’s Gate
The Ring of Solomon
Thanks, making notes!
Those books are so goddam good. I need to find copies and reread them.
