It's also wonderful to see children depicted as children and not as mini-adults. R K Narayan and Bill Watterson have this gift, too.
my favorite in that genre is not even to kill a mockingbird its betty smith's "a tree grows in brooklyn" if any of you can find the book + has a spare copy. mine disappeared 8 years ago when i was moving house and i had that for years, read it multiple times
