Besides the (in)famous Catcher in the Rye, what other "coming-of-age novels" have you read and would recommend?

Asked by DarlingRhadamanthus (11273points) August 4th, 2012

There are a number of “coming-of-age” books that are quite well-known…books such as Little Women, To Kill a Mockingbird, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and Anne of Green Gables.

Some of the lesser known coming-of-age novels I have read and enjoyed were Summer of My German Solider by Bette Green and the starkly beautiful Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt.

What classic coming-of-age novels have you enjoyed? What lesser known “coming-of-age novels” do you recommend?
