i LOVE “dead poets society” and “the outsiders,” but i specifically love the found family, coming of age aspects of it. looking for something with similar vibes set in “the real world” (preferably no fantasy/scifi elements), that deal with the same coming of age type of issues. character-driven as well!
i’m sorry if that’s kinda vague but any rec is much appreciated!!!
(niche but these stories REALLY remind me of the “newsies” musical, and i’d love to find books like it!!)
