Strider by Beverly Cleary
The follow-up to Dear Mr. Henshaw catching up with Leigh a few years later. He's still having some of the same difficulties and learning from each occasion. In this one, he finds a lost dog, which comes to replace the dog and family that are missing in his life. And in looking after the dog, he learns a few things and mends a few other issues in his life.
I still think any kid could find a way to relate to Leigh. Even as an adult there are lessons to be found in this book and it's predecessor.
