yaffle posted:I work in an elementary school library, so if you want recommendations just ask, there are so many An adjacent question: can you recommend books - for whatever age of reader - that faithfully / accurately represent a kid's internal life? It occurs to me that most fiction with young protagonists doesn't really ring true in the way they think, speak, act. Part of what makes me ask is, I'm working on a roleplaying game project that takes generations of protagonists from childhood to adulthood, then loops back around to playing the children of your previous characters. It'd be helpful to have some fiction where its young protagonists feel like real people instead of Small Adults, so that I can embed those feelings into mechanics.

yaffle posted:That is a tricky one, Shirley Hughes does this well, "Dogger" and "Alfie gets in first" come to mind. If you want books for older readers, Judy Blume and Cynthia Voight both seem (to me) to capture something of the reality of being a child. Thanks for this! Cynthia Voight's Kingdom series in particular looks like it could be really useful. And I've always meant to read Judy Blume, so maybe now's the time. If anyone else has recommendations I'd be happy to have them.
