Are there any good books that take place in high school or have a high school age protagonist?

Quarantine? I wouldn't bother with teen books, do you want adult books?

I'll admit I was curious because a vast majority of Japanese light novels are focused on a high school setting, but most of them are absolute garbage. I wanted to know if there western novels that handle those types of stories better.

I can't think of any. Only teen books deal with high school. Carrie might be good. My personal favorite is Perks of Being a Wallflower.

It's not Ulysses or Gravity's Rainbow, but Pessl's Special Topics in Calamity Physics is pretty entertaining. It's basically Tartt's The Secret History in high school, but I recommend it.

No one mentioned Catcher in the Rye yet?
>>

>>8261359

yup, Catcher in the Rye

gonna go and recommend Kafka on the Shore also. Less Than Zero is kind of terrible but also features an 18 year old protagonist.

Perks is terrible and a waste of time, don't bother
