If you’re open to very long books, I recommend [The Hands of the Emperor](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/af2bba9c-8f41-4a3e-b87a-8532a44ccb67) by Victoria Goddard! It’s a beautifully written slice of life book about the personal secretary to the emperor of the world, with a heavy focus on platonic relationships.

If you prefer something shorter, how about [The Railway Children](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/f57e9651-b1b1-4a15-9ebd-7a57f4740bad) by E. Nesbit?
