The kids just finished a book that they loved for being very convincingly realistic, with a protagonist that wasn't perfect, having layers they didn't immediately spot and having a mixed (not all happy) ending. Can anyone recommend more that are similar? Age category 8-12.
Ok so when I said about it being "very convincingly realistic" I mean the sort of thing that passes for a true story.
As awesome as fantasy novels are, they aren't what I'm searching for this time.

You really delivered on this, guys. Thank you everyone who made such great suggestions
I have ordered 5 of the books you recommended, from second hand sellers, so in total I've only spent £12.25.
I am making a list of other titles to come back to too.
