Authentic depictions of childhood and youth

What novels or memoirs capture being a child in a way that feels immersive and authentic?

I know many, many books broadly fit this bill. But I have a certain vibe in mind.

I’m not looking for books written for a young audience, though I’m not against quality YA I suppose. Nor do I have in mind adventures about a young “chosen one” or precocious hero.

Also not the right vibe would be stories written from a distantly adult perspective.

I mean stories that capture the feel, texture, vividness of experience and specific concerns we all sort of vaguely half-remember from once having been children.

I hope to learn more about how great authors write in a way that is neither nostalgic nor too removed.

I have a few books in mind as well, but I’m curious what yours are.
